Empowering Communities Through the Goods Program

At RESCUES ON85TH, we understand that supporting Furry Family Members (FAMs)—including dogs and cats—requires more than love; it requires access to essential resources, education, and proactive intervention to prevent abandonment and unnecessary euthanasia.

Through our partnership with Greater Good Charities’ Goods Program, we are able to bridge the gap for families in need, ensuring that both people and their FAMs receive the vital supplies and support necessary to stay together.

​

What is the Goods Program?

The Goods Program, a cornerstone initiative of Greater Good Charities, provides critical pet food, supplies, and essential care items to nonprofit organizations like RESCUES ON85TH. This program allows us to extend our impact by directly distributing much-needed aid to families who might otherwise struggle to provide for their FAMs.

Through this collaboration, we have been able to:

✅ Secure nutritious pet food for families facing economic hardship and families experiencing financial difficulties.
✅ Provide essential supplies, including bedding, toys, leashes, and crates, ensuring comfort and safety for FAMs.
✅ Reduce shelter intakes by helping families keep their FAMs at home instead of surrendering them.
✅ Offer spay and neuter assistance, reducing overpopulation and the risk of unnecessary euthanasia.
✅ Support veterans, seniors, and low-income households, ensuring their FAMs remain a cherished part of their lives.

How RESCUES ON85TH & The Goods Program Make a Difference

Through RESCUES ON85TH’s direct distribution efforts, we ensure that supplies from the Goods Program reach those who need them most. This means:

✅ Preventing food insecurity for thousands of dogs and cats in our community.
✅ Reducing veterinary emergencies by providing preventative care resources.
✅ Alleviating financial burdens so families don’t have to choose between their needs and their FAMs’ well-being.
✅ Strengthening the human-animal bond by keeping families and their FAMs together.

Building a Future Where No FAM Goes Without

By partnering with Greater Good Charities’ Goods Program, RESCUES ON85TH is empowering families, preventing animal abandonment, and ensuring that every FAM receives the love and care they deserve.

With continued support, we can expand these efforts and reach even more households in need—because no family should ever have to make the heartbreaking decision of giving up their FAM due to financial hardship.

Together, we are creating lasting change—one meal, one resource, and one FAM at a time.
