pets because of an economic hardship.”

communities where it operates. “At Champion Petfoods, we see and
recognize the countless organizations doing critical work in our
communities, and this includes Greater Good Charities,” said Jess

with Greater Good Charities made perfect sense – it’s a chance for
us to support cats, dogs and pet parents and make an impact on our
purpose, To Earn Pet Lover Trust Every Day so Pets Thrive for a
Lifetime.” Greater Good Charities’ GOODS Program operates on a hub
