Beesley Animal Foundation to Host Outreach Pet Food Distribution Dec 9
Beesley Animal Foundation has planned an Outreach Pet Food Distribution for Friday, December 9 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Beesley Animal Foundation. In addition to Beesley’s regular Outreach Program, they will be holding this Pet Food Distribution thanks to a grant from Purple Paws and other individual donations.
Beesley’s drive-thru distribution will take place at Beesley Animal Foundation located at 2215 Keeneland Commercial Blvd. in Murfreesboro to help pet owners facing financial hardship. Beesley’s staff continues to hear from more and more individuals struggling to put food on their plates and food in their pet’s food bowls.
Beesley will be distributing three to five pounds of pet food per pet which will hopefully provide some relief for these pet owners at a time when budgets are stressed even further. Volunteers from Central Magnet School have hundreds of pounds of pet food packed for this drive-thru distribution.
Things to know:
- Outreach Pet Food Distribution is drive-thru at Beesley Animal Foundation (2215 Keeneland Commercial Blvd, Murfreesboro) from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Friday, December 9 while supplies last
- We will provide pet food for up to four household pets (cats and dogs)
- Pet food will be a mixture of wet and dry food
- When you arrive you will be asked for an ID and a few questions about your pet(s)
While Beesley will do its best to meet all needs, the Outreach Program is funded exclusively by donations therefore distribution amounts cannot be guaranteed. We offer this extra Pet Food Distribution as a way to assist the community while also assessing the need for future events like this.

The Beesley Animal Foundation was founded in 1980. Beesley’s Outreach Program started in August 2016. This program is made possible through food donations from community members, local businesses, and animal advocacy groups. Volunteers, primarily middle school and high school students, pack food and sort it for distribution. Seven agencies throughout Rutherford and Cannon Counties receive pet food monthly for their food distribution programs. Since 2016, over 26,000 pounds of pet food has been distributed from Beesley’s Outreach Program throughout Middle Tennessee, primarily in Rutherford and Cannon Counties.
