Our Dream Bins program allows us to keep donations that we are unable to utilize here at SPCA Florida from going to waste. Once a week, our volunteers work with our outreach programs coordinator to sort through all our miscellaneous donations to determine where they are needed and how best to use them. These donations may be used in our own outreach work, such as our Food Assistance Program, or re-donated to local organizations. By partnering with other local nonprofit organizations, such as the Dream Center, we pass along some of the generous donations we receive to help support others who are supporting our Lakeland community.

 

Currently, our Dream Bins team is small but mighty, and we are looking for additional volunteers to assist with this program, whether its one time or ongoing - thank you!

Here’s a description of our Food Assistance Program:

We know that pets are family, and that people want to do the best by their four-legged family members even during tough times. This is why SPCA Florida offers a food assistance program, where qualifying community members can pick up food for their pets once a month, to make keeping their dogs and cats well fed a little easier.

 

Our amazing team of staff and volunteers hands out about 4,000 pounds of food each month!
