Support local families + help pets find homes!
At Orphans of the Storm, we believe strong communities keep both people and pets together. With food insecurity on the rise, we’re hosting an event that helps our neighbors and gets more animals adopted.
✨ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬
Bring unopened, non-expired human non-perishable food items.
For adopters: Every 3 items = $10 off your adoption fee (up to $100 off)
If you don't find your perfect fit that day, you can take home a voucher to use at another time!
✨ 𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞
You do not need to adopt to help — all community donations are welcome!
✨ 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭
Your donations will support local food pantries and families in need AND helps more pets get adopted by lowering financial barriers for adopters.
It’s a simple way to make a big difference — for the people in our community and the animals who depend on us.
Want to help but can't stop by? You can donate directly to one of our local community food pantry partners, West Deerfield Township Food Pantry: givebutter.com/HixkwQ

Giving Tuesday — LOVE IN ACTION
This Giving Tuesday, Orphans of the Storm aims to raise $10,000 to support the essential work we do every day for pets and the people who love them. As our community’s shelter, we don’t just find homes for animals — we also help keep pets with their families by providing resources, support, and partnership with local municipalities, police departments, and animal control agencies. We reunite lost pets whenever possible and find loving homes when they can’t return.
Your Giving Tuesday support directly funds:
💛 Veterinary care — from routine treatments to complex cases
💛 Daily enrichment and comfort for pets while they’re here
💛 Community outreach that supports families and keeps pets in homes
💛 Pre- and post-adoption support to set families and pets up for long-term success
💛 Transport and rescue efforts for animals who need a safe place to land
This Giving Tuesday, your generosity becomes "Love in Action" — strengthening our community and giving vulnerable animals the care and future they deserve.
