Chewy Donates Over $1.7 Million to Help Care
for Pets Across the Country
Chewy, Inc. (NYSE: CHWY) (“Chewy”), a trusted online destination
for pets and pet parents, announced it is working alongside
GreaterGood.org and other non-profit partners to donate more than
$1.7 million in pet food, healthcare supplies, and other products
to animal welfare organizations most severely affected by the
regional economic impact of coronavirus.
“As GreaterGood.org works to support animal shelters and rescues
nationwide during the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak, Chewy’s
support has been critical," Said Liz Baker, CEO at GreaterGood.org.
"The unprecedented sheltering crisis that has resulted from the
pandemic leaves many animal welfare organizations without basic
supplies, and pet food is in especially in high demand. Chewy’s
donations make it possible for many shelters to continue to save
pets’ lives through this difficult time.”
“Chewy is committed to helping shelters and rescues, who provide
a valuable and essential service to the health and well-being of
animals in communities across the country, during this
unprecedented time. We remain dedicated to our partners operating
on the frontlines of the current situation and will continue to
look for ways to donate more. By partnering with GreaterGood.org,
we are able to direct resources to pets in highly impacted regions
who need it most,” said Sumit Singh, CEO at Chewy.
Over the last 30 days, Chewy and its network of non-profit
distribution, shelter, and rescue partners, have focused efforts on
regions most immediately impacted by the economic and social
effects of coronavirus, including California, Washington, New York,
and others. Chewy will continue directing ongoing food and product
donations through the month of April, and beyond, with the
assistance of GreaterGood.org, a national nonprofit dedicated to
protecting people, pets, and the planet.
