No one should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their pet. That's why the Petstock Foundation's Big Hearts Project is back this August.
We're on a mission to raise $135,000 to help Australians struggling to make ends meet as cost-of-living pressures continue to rise.
Help keep pets and families together
This August, we're proud to partner with OzHarvest to help families access the food support they need. Together, we're helping ease pressure on households facing hardship, so families can stay together and pets can remain where they belong - by the side of the people who love them most.

"The impact of providing food eases a significant burden for people in need, allowing them to allocate what little money they might have to other essential aspects of their lives. I'll never forget seeing a recipient of ours spending her only money on dog food. She was living rough in the park with her dog, her only companion for warmth and comfort and thanks to the food we provided, she was able to feed herself and her beloved pet, who was giving her much needed support.”
- Meryl, Transformations (OzHarvest supported charity)
"For many in our market communities, life is very tough, and their pet is a constant source of loyalty, love, and comfort. We hear people say that they wouldn't be alive without their pets, that their pet 'saved them', and that their pet is the reason they get up in the morning. Even though they are struggling to have their basic needs met - food, shelter, healthcare and safety - they still show up for their pets, who in turn help them show up for themselves: by getting up, leaving the house, and reaching out for help and connection."
- Mali Strachan-Brown, Community Programs Lead at OzHarvest Markets (Sydney)
OzHarvest
OzHarvest is Australia’s leading food rescue organisation, rescuing quality surplus food and delivering it to people experiencing hardship through a network of 1,500+ charities nationwide.
As cost-of-living pressures rise, more families are struggling to put food on the table and care for the pets they love. Every day, OzHarvest has 80 vans on the road delivering to an extensive network of charities across Australia, ensuring food reaches those who need it most.
Together, through Big Hearts, Big Impact, we’re helping ease pressure on households doing it tough. For every $2 donated to the Petstock Foundation this August, OzHarvest can deliver 4 meals to people in need. Because when families are supported, their pets are too.
