Help Popcorn Park With Annual Food Drive

LACEY, NJ — It takes a lot to fill the bellies of the dozens of animals taken care of by the Popcorn Park Animal Refuge. That's why they're asking for help from the public during their Annual Food Drive.

"Whether you'd like to send some munchies for the monkeys, tropical delights for our exotic birds, big cat cuisine for our lions and tigers, or some big biscuits for our big ol' bears, we'll take it, and appreciate it all so much!" Zoo workers shared on social media.

According to refuge staff, it costs about $600 a week to feed just one of their big cats - of which they house 11, not to mention the other exotics, farm animals and more they take care of.

During the food drive, running through March, you can donate to the refuge's weekly grocery bills or purchase something more specific, like fox fares, monkey munchies and pig provisions.

Those who wish to donate can do so here.

"Popcorn Park is home to so many animals from all walks of life. Farm animals, exotics, wildlife, birds, and so many more have come to Popcorn Park over the last 45+ years in need of assistance," refuge staff said. "They are always welcomed and provided with safe, tranquil lives where all of their needs are tended to, for the rest of their lives. This is all thanks to YOU, our wonderful supporters, that believe in our mission!"
