Pet Rock Fest Teams Up with Central Mass Pet Pantry for Holiday Pet Supply Drive

Local families are in need, especially during the holidays, and family includes pets





SHREWSBURY, MA – This holiday season (and throughout the winter), Pet Rock Fest Inc., a Central Massachusetts nonprofit dedicated to raising funds and awareness for animal welfare, is partnering with the Central Mass Pet Pantry to ensure pets in need are not forgotten.


Together, they are hosting a pet food and supply drive to benefit local families and their furry friends.


Donations of pet food, supplies, and toys can be dropped off at the following locations:


  • Central Mass Pet Pantry in Shrewsbury (during open hours)

  • Ellie’s Pet Barn in Holden

  • Sweet Jane’s Consignment in Worcester

  • Pet Medic Urgent Care in Westborough 

  • Bri’s Sweet Treats in the Worcester Public Market

  • Red Light Therapy 4U in Northborough 

  • Kitchen Sink and Candle Co in Sutton


Additionally, the drive offers a Chewy or  Amazon wish list for convenient ordering, with items shipped directly to the pantry. Monetary donations are also welcome, with funds supporting both the Central Mass Pet Pantry and Pet Rock Fest’s ongoing mission of animal advocacy. Donations can be made via Paypal or Venmo or through the provided donation link.


The Central Mass Pet Pantry was established to help families struggling to care for their pets by providing essentials like food and supplies. Its mission aligns perfectly with Pet Rock Fest’s commitment to kindness to animals, making this collaboration especially meaningful.


“Every pet deserves love, care, and nourishment, especially during the holidays,” said Charlene Arsenault, founding partner of Pet Rock Fest. “With the support of our community, we can help ensure no pet goes hungry this season.”
