Hollywood Feed Columbus Team Surpasses Donation Goal to Support Columbus Humane Pet Food Pantry

Eleven Columbus-area Hollywood Feed stores came together for a four-day donation drive in support of Columbus Humane.

Thanks to the generosity of Hollywood Feed customers and the dedication of store employees, the drive's goal was surpassed on the very first day.

The donations were delivered on March 3 by four Hollywood Feed Same-Day Delivery vehicles to Columbus Humane’s Essential Care Center.

Store leaders credited the success of the initiative to strong teamwork, community engagement, and a shared passion for animal welfare.

By the conclusion of the drive, the team had collected more than 1,400 cans of dog food and 110 bags of cat litter.

My team was very motivated and excited for this. They became competitive amongst each other to see who had the most donations.”

COLUMBUS, OH, UNITED STATES, April 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Healthy and holistic pet food and supply retailer Hollywood Feed has once again demonstrated its commitment to giving back to the community through an overwhelming show of support for Columbus Humane, whose Pet Food Pantry and Essential Care Center provides free pet food and supplies to families facing financial hardship. In response to an urgent call for help, 11 Columbus-area Hollywood Feed stores came together for a four-day donation drive that far exceeded its original goal, providing critical supplies to families and pets in need.

On February 18, Columbus Humane issued an urgent request for wet dog food and cat litter to restock its Pet Food Pantry at the Essential Care Center, which had reached critically low levels. The pantry plays a vital role in helping families facing financial hardship keep their pets at home rather than surrendering them to shelters. In response, Hollywood Feed teams across Columbus quickly mobilized, setting an initial goal of collecting 500 cans of wet dog food and 50 bags of cat litter. Thanks to the generosity of customers and the dedication of store employees, that goal was surpassed on the very first day. By the conclusion of the drive, the team had collected more than 1,400 cans of dog food and 110 bags of cat litter.

The donations were delivered on March 3 by four Hollywood Feed Same-Day Delivery vehicles to Columbus Humane’s Essential Care Center. Store leaders credited the success of the initiative to strong teamwork, community engagement, and a shared passion for animal welfare. “Honestly, it takes dedication to a goal. Set a goal and try your absolute best to make it to the finish line. And if you beat your goal, make a new one,” said Andrew Hanson, Store Manager of the Hollywood Feed location in Avery. Alexandra Draves, Store Manager of the Clintonville store, added that the drive inspired both friendly competition and collaboration among team members. She noted, “My team was very motivated and excited for this. They became competitive amongst each other to see who had the most donations. I also saw a lot of teamwork amongst my team to help each other ask customers or mention the donations we were gathering. It showed how much they love what they do!”
