About Us
Oldsmar Cares was established in 1997 as a volunteer organization to provide the basic needs–food, shelter, and clothing–within our community. Many of the families we serve have few options to keep food on the table and suitable clothing for school, work, or to seek employment. Our aim is to assist our neighbors so that we may help them through difficult times and support their efforts to work toward a better life for themselves and their families.
We offer residents in need, food, clothing and the opportunity for rent and utilities assistance. Caring neighbors volunteer in our food pantry and clothes closet and numerous food and clothing drives throughout the year. Generous donations from local residents, businesses, and the City of Oldsmar support all aspects of our program.
Oldmar Cares is founded on the principal that Oldsmar is a neighborhood where each of us must look out for the other. We believe that the support and genuine care we provide our residents who have fallen on hard times will ensure that they have the necessities for life. We have proof that this philosophy works: people who were once recipients of our assistance are now volunteers and donors.
Oldsmar Cares strives to break the cycle of poverty, starting with our own. Our investment in the well being of those here at home is an investment in the future of the our community.
Please join us as a volunteer or donate to Oldsmar Cares. Each of us is important to the future of our friends and neighbors in need.
