Feed the Birds. Feed Your Joy. Feed More Hope.

Every bag of Kalmbach Wild Bird Feed supports mental wellness initiatives nationwide through the Kalmbach Feed Your Joy Fund.

Nourishing Minds, Nurturing Nature

Feeding wild birds boosts our own mental well-being - and we believe that benefit should reach beyond our backyards.  That’s why we created the Kalmbach Feed Your Joy® Fund. 

A dedicated portion of proceeds from every sale of Kalmbach Wild Bird Feed goes directly into this fund, making your purchase a meaningful, everyday act of giving to those who need it most.

Why Feeding Birds Is Good For Your Health

When you fill your feeder, you are taking a simple, powerful step to restore your own well-being. When you purchase Kalmbach Wild Bird Feed, you extend that positive impact to others in need.
