Pawsitively Perfect: Celebrating National Dog Day with Thrivent Action Teams



Bags of pet toys and treats

National Dog Day, on August 26, recognizes the joy and companionship dogs bring. At Faith Temple Food Giveaway, we believe in celebrating not just our clients but also the four-legged members of their families. With this in mind, a volunteer organized a Thrivent Action Team to make this day special for more than 50 tail-wagging dogs.


Celebrating Our Canine Companions

Many guests face tough weekly choices, deciding whether to feed their families or their beloved pets. We want to ensure that dog owners never have to make that difficult decision, and National Dog Day is the perfect occasion to show our support through some fun toys and treats.


Featured National Dog Day Toys and Treats

We partnered with GreaterGoods to bring furry friends joy and comfort with fun dog toys. Among the highlights of toys sent to the households include:

Dog playing with shark toy.
  • Sharks with Flamingo Floaty Toys: A quirky take on summer fun.

  • Sushi Toys: For the sophisticated pup.

  • Bottle Toys: Keep your pet entertained for hours on end.

All pets received:

  • Chicken and Waffle Dog Treats: Perfect for a savory celebration.


Thrivent Action Teams Making a Difference

Our Thrivent Action Teams have been instrumental in organizing the collection and distribution of these delightful packages. Their dedication ensures that each dog receives a special gift, from collecting the supplies to packing the bags.


Personal Stories from Happy Dog Owners

Dog playing with a shark dog toy.

Few things warm the heart, like seeing a happy pup. Here's what some of our dog owners had to say:


  • "My dog has been so anxious the last couple of weeks as I have been packing for an upcoming move. The new squeaky toy has kept her occupied for a while and allowed her to settle a bit. She really loves treats."


  • "My golden doodle loves toys that make any noise. As soon as I gave him his new toys, he went crazy. He loves the treats, too. Thank you for making his day!"


These stories remind us of the positive impact thoughtful gifts can have on our pets.
