When disasters strike and pets are impacted, we quickly respond by providing free nutritional support through Hill’s Disaster Relief Network. This first-of-its-kind network was established in 2013 as a direct extension of the Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love™ program, with a mission to donate free pet food to shelters, veterinary clinics, governmental organizations and other large non-profits caring for pets impacted by disaster. Over the past nine years, Hill’s has donated over 2.3 million pounds of food to support more than 800 organizations caring for pets in the aftermath of disasters. In 2021 alone, Hill’s donated over 1.1 million pounds of pet food through the Disaster Relief Network to support more than 110 organizations responding to the needs of pets and people impacted by disasters. Our Hill’s Pet Nutrition team has a mission to help enrich and lengthen the special relationship between people and their pets by providing science-led nutrition to cats and dogs, which is why when disaster strikes, we step up. In 2021, Hill’s donated $10,000 to the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) to support disaster relief work by the Louisiana State Animal Response Team. The gift is also being matched by an equal amount from the AVMF’s disaster funds for a total of $20,000. The funding provides support for veterinary professionals in Louisiana who were affected by Hurricane Ida and provides care for animals in need. AVMF and Hill’s also announced a second collaborative donation of $60,000 to the Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine (TUCVM) scholarship program. TUCVM is the alma mater to 70% of Black veterinarians in the U.S. Hill’s donated 80 bags of dog food and 45 bags of cat food to the St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, to help support the animals in their care and continue their life-saving work. 2021 SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL IMPACT REPORT PAGE 51
