In the aftermath of severe flooding in Kerr County, Texas, Central Garden & Pet Company, a leading North American pet and garden products provider, has stepped up to provide much-needed relief. The company, with net sales of $3.2 billion in fiscal 2024, has donated a total of $50,000 to Greater Good Charities and the Hill Country Humane Society.
Niko Lahanas, CEO of Central Garden & Pet, emphasized the company's commitment to action during disasters, stating, "We believe it's our responsibility to respond with empathy and action during these challenging times."
Central Garden & Pet's financial contribution directly supports relief efforts, while its partnership with Greater Good Charities and the local humane society facilitates the distribution of donated pet food and supplies to families impacted by the floods. This collaborative approach addresses both immediate needs and ongoing recovery support for animals and their owners in the community.
Greater Good Charities, with over $750 million invested in impact since 2007, plays a crucial role in this collaboration. The organisation, which has a Four-Star rating on Charity Navigator and a Platinum Seal on GuideStar, coordinates the distribution of resources to ensure they reach those in need.
In addition to financial support, Central Garden & Pet's employees are actively involved in relief efforts. They are volunteering their time, collecting donations, and supporting the flood response efforts.

K&H Pet Products, for instance, has donated dog cots and cat beds to shelters and rescue sites, while Barkworthies has supplied chews to nourish dogs and reduce stress and anxiety. FourPaws has provided training pads to support hygiene for pets in temporary housing.
