The GOODS Program
will address the increased need for food and essential supplies across the globe for people and pets alike.
Our commitment to feeding homeless pets in need has never been stronger. In fact, our expanded program will reach more pets than ever, utilizing a larger Ambassador distribution network, helping more communities that need it most.
And now,
GOODS
will also help families and their pets facing economic hardships, people experiencing homelessness, veterans, domestic violence survivors, and victims of disaster throughout the world.

GOODS Program
sources and manages excess, re-branded, and short-dated food and supplies from manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
GOODS
then makes these products available to qualified and approved distribution groups (Ambassadors) using a fee arrangement similar to a food bank model. That is, the goods are donated, but freight, warehouse, and program costs are met by handling
fees and donations.
GOODS
Ambassadors receive shipments of humanitarian and/or animal products, typically 18-wheeltruckloads, either directly from donors through GGC management or directly from GGC. Once received, Ambassadors store, manage, and distribute the donated products to qualified organizations (Recipients) within their geographic areas.
