“I’ve adopted 2 cats from St Francis in the past. I just adopted Lily and she’s such a sweetheart. The volunteers at St Francis love their kitties and care for them as if they were their own. Joy and Jane who helped me made sure I was a “ good cat mom” and I am so happy I passed. The adoption fee is extremely reasonable and Lily has made a very smooth transition into my home. Even my other cat has warmed up to the new arrival very quickly. If you are looking to adopt St Francis is the place to go.”

“I’ve recently re-joined the Moose at this lodge. It’s wonderful…not once have been there solo when some nice person has engaged, struck up a conversation with me. The bartenders are terrific….food TOO!
It’s my go-to place in Venice.
Lastly, if you’re not aware of Moose Charities, please look it up…might be the finest place to send a few extra bucks if you’re in a generous mood!
THE MOOSE DOES GOOD…LOTS OF GOOD!”

“Symphony salvage has been a company we have used for many years and I have been in direct contact with them once a week for about a year and a half now and they come and pick up the stuff that we have for recycling for them and provided bags and rubber bands provided by them That all you have to do is ask them the prior week of delivery for some more bags and or rubber bands. Wish they bring you a big box or a big bag full of rubber bands for tying shoes together, etc. things like that and they pick up cleanly respectfully and politely the gentleman that are driving and working the truck are very respectful. They do great work. They are clean about it, and they don’t make comments they don’t say bad words they’re very respectful and happy every time I’ve seen them every single time. I am very, very impressed with Symphony salvage and will continue using them for the business.”

“Besides our business we also run a 501c3 nonprofit animal sanctuary. Waste to charity has donated so many much needed items to our nonprofit. They have helped to make the work load for all the volunteers much easier. We can’t say enough how much we appreciate them. The staff especially Cristy is amazing. If you are a nonprofit in south Florida be sure you reach out to them. You won’t be sorry.David Burns, co-founderFarmhouse Sanctuary”

“This is one of the smaller community retail and donation center location. Although it's not one of the larger locations in the services chain, this location North of Venice in Nokomis, along Rte 41 North. A donation area and retail sales store are on site. Clothing, linens, household decor, appliances, electronics are the majority of the items available. A small selection of literature is in store, as well as smaller home furnishings. Household and kitchen items are available and a smaller display case for jewelry and a collection valuables can be found adjacent to the cashier's counter. The smaller businesses location still maintains an assortment of merchandise, even when limiting the size of the merchandise. Customers can always find the unexpected items, while finding women's, men's and children's apparel. The constant rotation of donations keep the ever changing selection available for new arrivals. It's proximity to south Sarasota offers a better local footprint.”
