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.

You Can Help
Services we provide
Services we provide
One of our services is to help make our clients house a home when they finally are able to get into an apartment or housing. After they have a signed lease, all utilities are turned on, and our application is complete they are able to fill out a checklist of household items that we are able to put together for them to pick up. This is a one time only service (barring a housefire or other catastrophic disaster).
In providing these items the client has more disposable income to get established in their new place. The money they would need for these things can be used to pay deposits or put gas in their vehicle to get to and from work.

Our 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

Baby Room Needs
Often a box of diapers and some wipes are the difference in being able to put gas in our clients car or buying their monthly BayWay Trolley pass so they can get to and from work.
Other times it is a grandparent raising a grandchild and they are choosing between diapers and their medications. We have seen all of these situations.
We provide baby diapers once every 6 months and refer those individuals and families to other resources that can help more often.
