Help us, help others
While in-kind donations are invaluable, We always need monetary donations or suggestions for new grant opportunities. These donations help us stay in operation, purchase items that are not donated, they help us pay water or GCEC bills for our clients that are in a temporary financial bind, they help us buy trolley passes for our working clients that have an unexpected car breakdown, or for clients needing help getting to a doctor appointment.

Cleaning Supplies Needs
We often are asked by our seniors and our working single parents for help with cleaning supplies. We help with these items when we are able.
Additionally, when one of our clients are in emergency situations and have to move we provide these items to either clean up to move out so they will retain their security deposit, clean the new place they are moving into, or start them out with a cleaning supply order in their new place.
These situations range from domestic violence, house/apt fires, loss of a job, a spouse leaves, someone is widowed, aging out of foster care, becoming housed after being homeless, and veterans needing some extra help.
If you have any questions please call us at 850-785-1721 Mon-Thurs 9-3 (please leave a message if it goes to voicemail) or email us at DonationsFSApc@gmail.com

We would like to extend a tremendous thank you to Emerald Coast Hospice for their very generous food drive and cash donation. We could not do what we do without the help of selfless giving individuals and groups like this one.
We received 1200 lbs. of canned and other shelf-stable foods that will tide us over quite well through the holidays.

On October 11th we attended Out in the South at Florida State University's Holley Center.
The aim of the event was to educate and affirm the experiences of LGBTQ+ communities.
The speakers discussed the religious and medical impacts of LGBTQ+ diversity in our community and afterwards took many great questions from the audience.
At our table we handed out our agency brochure to educate those in attendance about our mission, our services, and gave out some nice treats.
