ORANGE PARK – Last Saturday’s Impact Clay Train at Grove Park Elementary was so successful it needed 138 volunteers to serve 168 residents with mobile neighborhood care teams of healthcare professionals and community workers who play a role in improving healthcare and social services with positive outcomes by providing check-ups, showers, haircuts, food pantry, hot meal, nutrition, addiction support, mental health and health education to underserved areas of the county. The Train will make its next stop at Keystone Heights Junior/Senior High on April 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Clay Hill Elementary on May 18 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Springs Church Outreach made the Train a part of its Volunteer Day of Service. Also, the Rotary Club of Orange Park and the Orange Park Lions Club joined One Clay Schools, Director Laura Fogarty and Superintendent David Broskie.

 

According to Orange Park Lions Club, February is Furry Friends Month!

 

 Safe Animal Shelter at 2913 County RD. 220 in Middleburg Florida recently put out a call for kitten food, puppy food and other supplies based on a recent influx of kittens and puppies. Carl Crosby, Vicky Crosby, and Michael Poweleit from The Orange Park Lions Club came to the rescue!  Several bags and cans of kitten food and dog food were brought by the trio from the Lions Club to help with the increased population of animals.   Time was also spent at the shelter visiting workers and the animals. One puppy in the lobby drew everyone’s attention. The two-month-old mixed breed loved giving kisses. This adorable pup was found in a grocery bag in a parking lot right before Christmas only a couple weeks old. This was only one story of many that the no kill shelter is called upon to help provide homes for abandoned animals.

 

Safe Animal Shelter is the oldest no-kill shelter in Clay County. It receives no government funding and the homeless cats and dogs they take in, are provided quality care only through private donations. Their goal is to reduce the number of cats and dogs euthanized in Clay County and NE Florida. 

 

The shelter informed us that this is the time of year when the number of kittens and pups found increases and there is a real need of kitten food, puppy food, litter, and puppy pads. All the great care the animals receive is all from community support. All donations are appreciated and if you can’t help with food, or time, or money,  or adoptions ; there is a real need for foster homes for the adorable furry friends. Contact the shelter for more information: (904) 375-9122 Hours Wednesday-Sunday Noon-5PM
