Recipient Requirements
The Animal Food Bank requires the following before distributing food. No food can be distributed without presenting the following information at registration:
A government-issued photo ID.
Proof of income. Examples of proof of income are a paystub, a tax return, or a statement from Social Security or other government agency. Access cards are not sufficient for proof of income.
A spay/neuter certificate for each pet for whom you are seeking assistance, proof of a current rabies vaccination for each dog or cat for whom you are seeking assistance, and of a current dog license for each dog for whom you are seeking assistance.
The Animal Food Bank requires families to comply with local ordinances on number of pets in one household. For many communities in the Lehigh Valley, that limit is six. We do not support breeders or breeding of any kind.
