Pet Food Assistance - Our Mission
No one should have to choose between
feeding their pets…
or feeding themselves.
At Halo Café, our mission is to help families keep the promise they made to their pets to love and care for them forever by providing pet food to those who cannot afford it on their own.
We exist to reduce shelter intake of wanted pets,
to educate families on the importance of spay and neuter and to keep established companion animals where they belong - at home - by providing pet food and resources to low income, homeless and elderly community members in need.

Who We Are
Founder
Jennifer Quinn-Yovino founded Halo Cafe Inc. in 2011 with her husband Jim Yovino, recognizing the need for a local organization dedicated to animal welfare, pet retention and community support for individuals struggling with food insecurity. This initiative aimed to prevent these individuals from having to surrender their pets to a kill-shelter. Since then, she has grown a thriving nonprofit, which has served hundreds of individuals through its pet food pantry and support services over the years.
President
Thalia Arenas is a former animal shelter Humane Educator and the current owner of a Wedding Venue. Her skills in ministry, notary work, and volunteer management, along with her entrepreneurial mindset and strong advocacy for animal welfare, have positioned her in a leadership role at Halo Cafe. Her goal is to enhance Halo's community support, particularly by expanding their pet food pantry, to continue helping families and the pets they love.
Vice President
Colleen Cabral is the founder of Foster Paws, an organization dedicated to animal welfare, and she has recently been appointed as the new 2026 Vice President & Treasurer! Her efforts are greatly supported by the community and include initiatives like the pet food pantry to assist those in need.
Secretary
Nancy Wright started as a regular volunteer at our pet food pantry, is an ongoing TNR cat advocate and as of 2026, she is excited to take on the role of our new secretary, continuing her commitment to both animal welfare and community support!
Treasurer
VACANT - looking for our trusted treasurer to join the board!
