This holiday season, the Alpine Property Management team found a way to give back to our community while helping prospective tenants save on application fees and the results exceeded our expectations.
In December, we launched a special promotion: instead of paying our standard $100 application fee, applicants could donate $45 worth of pet food or supplies to Chain of Hope, a Kansas City nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating neglected animals in our community.
The response was incredible. By the end of the month, we had collected nearly $500 worth of pet food and supplies everything from bags of dog and cat food to treats, toys, and even a cat exercise wheel.
Delivering Hope to Kansas City’s Animals
Last week, Alpine team members Cara and Angie loaded up and delivered the donations to Chain of Hope’s facility. The organization was thrilled to receive the supplies, which will go directly to supporting their rescue and outreach programs.
Chain of Hope has been serving Kansas City since 2010, working seven days a week to alleviate the suffering of abused and neglected animals in the urban core. Their mission goes beyond rescue they provide pet owners with food, shelter supplies, veterinary assistance, and low cost spay and neuter services to help keep families and their pets together.
As they put it, their goal is to “break the chain of ignorance, break the chain of suffering, and break the chain of unwanted litters.”
Why This Matters to Us
At Alpine, we manage over 250 rental properties across Kansas City. Many of our tenants are pet owners, and we know how much their animals mean to them. Supporting an organization that helps both pets and the people who love them felt like a natural fit.
We also believe that being part of this community means giving back to it. Property management isn’t just about collecting rent and coordinating repairs it’s about being good neighbors and supporting the organizations that make Kansas City a better place to live.
We’re Doing It Again
The December pet food drive was such a success that we’re planning to make it an annual tradition. Keep an eye out next holiday season for another opportunity to save on application fees while supporting a great cause.
In the meantime, if you’d like to support Chain of Hope directly, you can donate through their website at chainofhopekc.org or check out their Amazon and Chewy wish lists for items they need most.
Thank You
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the drive. Your generosity will help Chain of Hope continue their important work rescuing animals, supporting pet owners in need, and making Kansas City a more compassionate community for all of us two legged and four legged alike.
