The Pet Project Midwest (TPPM) is making the world a better place through kindness to animals. TPPM is a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping pets in their homes and out of shelters with proactive programing. We receive financial support through private donations, corporate sponsorships, and grants. Our management team is an unsalaried board of directors.

TPPM provided food, supplies, and services to families in need, keeping pets in the home and out of shelters. Food is collected, stored, and disbursed from TPPM's Pantry location. In 2024, over 250 families were assisted by the pantry program, and over 70,000 pounds of pet food and supplies were distributed to local families in need.
