During season of giving, Chewy delivers impact
and opportunities for pet parents to help non-profit partners
Chewy, Inc. (“Chewy”) (NYSE: CHWY), a trusted online destination
for pet parents and partners everywhere, announced today that it
will match customer purchase amounts and donate the total in food
and supplies to animal welfare organizations in need this Giving
Tuesday, up to $2 Million. The news comes on the heels of Chewy’s
recently launched Wish List feature, a tool designed to make
donating to shelters and rescues quick and easy. These latest
efforts to support shelters and rescues across the country add to
the more than $27 Million in products that Chewy has already
donated this year.
“At Chewy, our goal is to make the world a better place for pets
and the communities that serve them, and this is especially
important now given the challenges so many are facing across the
country,” said Mita Malhotra, Chewy Vice President of Healthcare
and Shelters. “We wish to give back to this community of animal
shelters and rescues in need, not only through our own donations
but by also enabling the participation of millions of pet parents
who want to contribute to the shelter and rescue community.”
Chewy’s commitment to partnering with shelters and rescues has
created a support system for those most severely impacted by the
economic and social effects of COVID-19 and beyond. This holiday
season, Chewy customers will be able to take part in the continued
effort to make a difference for pets in local communities. To help
raise awareness of charitable causes, Chewy is celebrating this
year’s Giving Tuesday by providing an easy way for pet parents to
give back by making a purchase on Chewy.com on December 1, 2020. To

For those who wish to send supplies directly requested by a
shelter in their own communities, Chewy also offers an innovative
new feature called Wish List. Wish List allows any non-profit
shelter or rescue in the United States to curate a list of items
they need, which is then made available to millions of pet parents
who can purchase these items directly from Chewy and have them
delivered to the doorstep of the shelter or rescue.
Chewy’s philanthropic mission to help fulfill the urgent needs
of shelter and rescue organizations ensures that pets have basic
necessities, like meals and supplies, despite challenging
circumstances. Chewy’s donations have provided pet food, healthcare
supplies, and other essential products to animal welfare
organizations and pet parents throughout the country in partnership
with GreaterGood.org and other animal welfare organizations.
