While St. Petersburg College and Pinellas County escaped the wrath of Hurricane Ian mostly unscathed, many people living in other areas of Central Florida were not as lucky and are struggling to rebuild. The college is coordinating an emergency relief drive to help those affected south of the Tampa Bay Area.
Donations are welcome from SPC students, staff, faculty, and members of the community and will continue through the month of October. All donated supplies will be loaded every Tuesday at various times throughout the day by 2 p.m
SiteOne Landscape Supply Branch 5 in Largo has partnered with SPC to drive donated supplies to the State College of Florida, Bradenton Campus, every Wednesday at 7 a.m. This partnership supports the vision of Stronger Together, a coalition of area individuals, businesses, and organizations who have come together to support our friends, family, and partners in the south impacted by Hurricane Ian.
