Lee does EVERYTHING he possibly can to ensure your success while cheering you on in the process. and Christian is always there ready to help with a smile. I have never been turned away for anything that I needed with SPARCC. My utmost gratitude is due to this caring place and all of its staff. THANK YOU!!!

Great organization with great people supporting you in so many ways. They are here to empower you to be strong and not give up in tough times. Please understand this place is for males and females. And for anyone feeling they are in an abusive situation. Abuse is not limited to sexual and/or physical, it can also be emotional, mental, spiritual and financial as well. Possessiveness, extreme jealously, and any forms of control are not healthy. You are a human being that deserves to be treated with respect and love.

Questions & Answers

Can we donate clothes for the girls to wear directly to you or will they be sold at the treasure chest? I prefer they go to the ladies who need them at the shelter.

After speaking with the main office, the items are to be dropped off at the store. Then the ladies get vouchers to go select whatever they need for them and their children.

I am looking to donate all of my wife's clothing. She past away and would like to see her clothing used by someone who really needs them. Guess I'm just curious if you sell them or give them to the people who are in need?or

Thank you for thinking of SPARCC. The Treasure Chest (1426 Fruitville, Sarasota, FL 34236) welcomes donations of gently used furniture, clothing and household items: ◉ Clothing – men’s and women’s clothing, shoes and accessories ◉ Household items – small appliances, decorative items, lamps, dishes and flatware ◉ Furniture – sofas, dining sets, beds and dressers ◉ Art, antiques and collectibles All proceeds generated by the Treasure Chest are used to fund SPARCC programs and services. SPARCC participants receive vouchers to shop for free for the items they need. * For donation drop-off, honk your horn at the garage door, behind the building, and a representative will come out to collect the donations.

I have 2 gently used rugs and various home items that I would like to donate. Would these be helpful?

Thank you for thinking of SPARCC! New personal care/hygiene items such as hand & body lotion, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner are the basic necessities we need on an ongoing basis. Your donations will help us continue to meet the needs of the families we serve here at SPARCC. For more information, visit https://www.sparcc.net/get-involved/shelter-wish-list/
