At the Zoo, our animals are our family. And, like you, we’re committed to feeding our family the best food available to make sure they’re healthy and happy. With more than 6,000 mouths to feed each day, you can imagine the effect rising costs have had on our grocery bill. Imagine the cost of:

• 16 tons of USDA inspected meat
• 70 tons of whole grains
• almost 30 tons of apples, bananas and carrots

And that doesn’t include the other items we need to complete the grocery trip.

 

Because we’re committed to providing the best food and care for our animals, the Zoo is facing a 15% increase in the food bill. We need your help to meet those costs. Please make a gift today and help us feed our family.
