Fix West Texas is the West Texas Greater Good Charities Ambassador
Fix West Texas has teamed up with Greater Good Charities to become the official West Texas Great Good Charities Ambassador, which allows us to share donated resources with animal welfare agencies throughout West Texas.
Thanks to this partnership, we are able to bring more low-cost pet food and litter to the area, allowing rescues and pet pantries to stretch their dollars further and impact even more pets and people.
Food and supplies are donated by the truckload from gracious donors, shipped to partner warehouses and later distributed to qualified GOODS Program recipients, such as Fix West Texas, for a minimal handling fee.
