They are open Monday-Thurs If I remember right and Rarely turn people away It is once a month only but they give your PLENTY atleast 4 HEARTY meals and a tons of snacks( im sure every month changes based on donations) never have made me feel insecure or uncomfortable going there like some other food banks/churches. I am telling you they are awesome check them out!

I went to their food bank last week and I am disappointed in the meats that I received. The bacon…read moreand sausage smelled rancid during cooking and I ended up throwing it away. I won't bother to try cooking the other meats they gave me. I think it's really sad that a supposed charity gives out such poor quality goods. They asked many more questions about income,expenses, etc than Lake Cares and were obviously more concerned with the government reimbursements than actually helping the poor. So much for christians being better than atheists.

I first visited Seminole County Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary in August when the tortoise hatchlings…read morewere ready for adoption. I went with my friend so her daughter could pick out two of them. This place is absolutely beautiful. When we first arrived, we were greeted by Ellen and her super friendly pup, and they showed us around. We got to go into the aviary, where I fell in love with a darling cockatiel. First off, the aviary is stunning. Ellen and Darien take in rescued birds, rehabilitate them, and re-home the ones that they can. They go to great measures to ensure that the right person adopts the right bird, and they provide wonderful resources and hands-on training. The birds are extremely well taken care of and cared for by Ellen and her staff. As someone who believes in animal advocacy, this means a lot to me. I am now finishing the process of adopting that sweet little cockatiel (she comes home tomorrow), and I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for Ellen, Darien and all the amazing work they do for the animals at the Rescue & Sanctuary. I highly recommend with a full and happy heart!!
