SPC seeks donations to support Hurricane Ian survivors

Contributions to the emergency relief drive can be dropped off in the donation boxes at any Titans Care Center location. Pick-up times for south campuses will happen before 11 a.m., and north campuses will occur by 2 p.m.

PINELLAS COUNTY — While St. Petersburg College and Pinellas County escaped the wrath of Hurricane Ian mostly unscathed, many people living in other areas of Central Florida were not as lucky and are struggling to rebuild. The college is coordinating an emergency relief drive to help those affected south of the Tampa Bay area.

Donations are welcome from SPC students, staff, faculty and community members and will continue through October. All donated supplies will be loaded every Tuesday at various times throughout the day by 2 p.m.

SiteOne Landscape Supply Branch 5 in Largo has partnered with SPC to drive donated supplies to the State College of Florida, Bradenton Campus, every Wednesday at 7 a.m. This partnership supports the vision of Stronger Together, a coalition of area individuals, businesses, and organizations who have come together to support our friends, family, and partners in the south impacted by Hurricane Ian.
