Our Volunteer, Michael J Pozo has been working hard delivering food to elderly, shut in, or disabled people who are in need this week through Lemondrop Community Outreach.

He sometimes also brings medical equipment, or hygiene items, when we have them available. His job takes him directly to these beautiful peoples homes, and he sees their needs. He began volunteering with us, to help support these people and get them what they need.

We are so grateful to be part of this partnership, to get items so desperately needed, to these beautiful souls who need a little support. πŸ’›

Hey everyone! Sorry we’ve been out of touch. Our full time volunteers have spent the past couple days working hard to sort through the clothing stored in our van, so we can both start using the van again and make sure the best possible clothing pieces get moved to the free clothing closet boutique. πŸ‘šπŸ‘•πŸ‘”πŸŽ½πŸ‘–πŸ‘—πŸ‘ž

It’s been a massive job, the van was entirely stuffed with many hundreds of pounds of clothing and shoes. Some bags, were never even opened and sorted through before our last clothing giving away in June. 🚐

Unfortunately, not all the clothing that was donated, was within the Lemondrop guidelines - a list we share with all donors. We had multiple bags donated that had both used and stained underwear mixed in with clothing. When our volunteers come across stained or dirty underwear, we are required to dispose of the entire bag due to potential contamination. It’s frustrating for all our volunteers and staff. After discussion with our Board about it today, we will likely have to narrow our guidelines as to what clothing we can take.

Other than that β€” the sorting has gone really well! We are down to about 1/3 of the van being filled with bags. Our hope is to have it empty by the end of the week! 🀞🏼

We still don’t have any volunteers for the Clothing Closet, which is an absolute mandatory need before we can open the clothing closet to be shopped. If you can possibly volunteer some time on Saturday mornings, please message us. Even once a month would be helpful! There is a volunteer application (required by our Board).

Thank you, and we love you all! πŸ’›

No work tomorrow (Saturday) at the clothing closet! Because it’s a storage unit, we really can’t be open in any inclement weather, or we risk the clothing getting damaged.

Preparations will continue next Saturday!

We still need 3 clothing racks and probably 200 more plastic hangers to use at the clothing closet. You can message us to drop off some that you have and don’t need, OR you can easily purchase and send via Amazon here ⬇️⬇️⬇️

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1CPT817SCR72I?ref_=wl_share

But our BIGGEST need right now is hands. We need volunteers to help on Saturday mornings, someone to open the closet and help clients fill out their liability waiver, choose their clothing (etc). Basically babysitting clothes for two hours. 😊 if you have time, are 18+ and want to help β€” please shoot us a message or text with your email so we can send you our volunteer application!

Thank you all, as always, for all your love and support. πŸ’› we love you!

Excited for things to come! We believe we have an opening date for the Clothing Closet β€” but are waiting for some confirmations to announce. Hoping it will be in September. 🀞🏼We can’t thank Morningstar Storage for providing the perfect location for the clothing closet. πŸ™πŸΌ

A huge thank you to Kohl's for their amazing support at our Clothing Giveaway in June!

We have come to the realization that our two full time volunteers, cannot do the work of ten people. Seems logical right? But sometimes, we just want to work and do so much more than what we are capable of.

Our full time volunteers’ main job(s) are business maintenance, paperwork, scheduling volunteers, scheduling donation pickups, scheduling with local stores who donate, and animal/sanctuary care (cleaning, feeding, baths, maintenance, etc). They’re already stretched so thin, work so hard to keep everything running.

In that thought, we will have to postpone opening the Clothing Closet for people in need to shop, until we have a team of at least 6 people available (rotating schedule) to help keep the closet maintained on Saturdays.

If you know any 18+ person, who would be willing to Volunteer, on a rotating schedule on Saturday’s from 10:30am-1:30pm, please reach out!

Thank you. πŸ’›

Join the Lemondrop family! Do you love helping local people in need? Are you able to commit 1 hour each week to volunteering? Are you looking for a sense of belonging?

We have two distinctly separate volunteer opportunities right now.

Clothing closet:
Looking for volunteers specifically for Saturdays between 1030am-130pm, to help facilitate distributing free clothing to anyone who needs it at our clothing closet location.

Food distribution:
Usually around a 1 hour a week commitment, but the time is flexible between 9am-4pm (at the volunteers convenience). Picking up food from a designated store who donates, and then delivering/distributing the bread to local Help Shelves.

Having your own vehicle and insurance are required. πŸ™‚ Being able to functionally use a cell phone, a messaging app and phone camera are also required.

Please message us here, send an email or text if you’re interested in joining our community family of Volunteers, so we can send you our volunteer application.

Thank you!πŸ’›πŸ™πŸΌ

He sometimes also brings medical equipment, or hygiene items, when we have them available. His job takes him directly to these beautiful peoples homes, and he sees their needs. He began volunteering with us, to help support these people and get them what they need.

How is everyone? What a crazy week for us!

We picked up a load on Tuesday, and then an even bigger load on Wednesday! Almost more than we were able to fit in our vehicle and trailer.

When anyone donates and we ask for a photo of the collected donations, please don’t be offended. We ask because our space is designated to the very inch. We had a couple loads that added more items after the photos were sent this week, and we almost couldn’t fit everything, because there was so much stuff! We are so grateful for the donations! We just need to make sure there’s space.

Yesterday (Thursday) our full time volunteers flat out rested after the multiple day marathon of business, working out in the extreme heat. πŸ₯΅

Today we are working to sort and load all the clothing donations, which we will be working to set up tomorrow (Saturday) for the new clothing closet.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

We still need clothing racks and hangers (plastic) for the clothing closet! Please message us, or let us know if you have some you’d like to donate! We can also put some on our Amazon wishlist if anyone prefers to donate that way.

We love you all! πŸ₯°πŸ’›

Saving Animals - Helping People

Since 2000 we have been rescuing animals from various circumstances, including strays and slaughter house abuse victims. In 2011 we incorporated as a non-profit so that we could solicit support from the local communities and companies to help us continue our work, of caring for, housing and feeding these animals. Since 2011 we’ve been able to take in roughly 250 animals in need, our focus is Farm Animals although we do take some cats and dogs on a case by case basis.

We rehabilitate each rescue upon arrival, bringing them up to health and weight, then merge them into the Lemondrop Farm Animal Family. Once we take in an animal we give them sanctuary for the rest of their natural lives. This means that the animals stay at the sanctuary, they do not get farmed out for slaughter, rehoming, marketing, trafficking or fighting etc. Each animal is given a large pasture or area to freely roam, graze, or play; none of the animals are kept in cages. Each pasture has a special shelter or barn to meet each type of animals needs for shelter from rain or inclement weather. We currently give permanent sanctuary to around 80 rescued farm animals.

In 2017 we were hit with Hurricane Irma as a Category 1-2, and then in 2018 we were directly hit by Hurricane Michael at a Category 5. Michael and a tornado that spun off of it, destroyed most of the Sanctuary, barns, shelters and fencing. After the hurricane the Board of Directors decided that our animals would have to be moved into Foster Homes until we could rebuild. As of 11/2018 we are still trying to raise funds to rebuild the Sanctuary.

Lemondrop Community Outreach partners with local churches and individuals who have a passion for helping feed, clothe and minister to the homeless community, especially veterans in need, in Tallahassee Florida and the surrounding areas.
