BENCHS was established in 1969 in Mankato, MN. We serve Southern MN to help with owner surrenders, stray and unclaimed animals at local impounds. BENCHS also offers a Food Share Program to help families keep their pets in their homes if they are going through a temporary hardship. As long as we have available donated food, we can have these families come in 2x a month. We may require animals be on a plan to be spay/neutered to receive this help. .
