Soar

The primary goal of SOAR is to raise funds and awareness of animal abuse and neglect. We do this by providing food and supplies to rescue organizations and individuals in need of help for the well-being of their pets. SOAR is not only dedicated to domestic animals; but, also, to our precious sea life such as dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, sea bir... ds, fish and wildlife. Additionally, we educate the public on the many needs and the suffering of animals and sea life; and, teach them how it can be prevented through community involvement. SOAR supports and provides services for Florida's Suncoast including St. Petersburg and Pinellas County, Tampa and Hillsborough County, as well as Bradenton, Sarasota, Brandon, and Ruskin. The first goal of SOAR was to raise funds to open a "pet food bank" in St. Petersburg, FL for those in need. That goal was achieved with the opening of SOAR's first "mini pet food bank," on June 1, 2019, inside Daystar Life Center in St. Petersburg, FL. Daystar provides many types of services to thousands of people a year; and, now, they can add "pet food and supplies" to their ever-growing list of available services so individuals and families won't have to give up their pets during times of financial struggle. Fundraising efforts continue so SOAR can open a main office. Not only will this office function as our headquarters, it will also maintain a "pet food bank" that will be available to ALL residents in the Tampa Bay area who are in need of pet food and pet supplies. We will offer volunteer training services and other services for area rescues and individuals in need. Additionally, working with people of all ages - including children - future programs will be identified, developed, managed, and maintained from SOAR's headquarters as we believe community involvement is a key component to our success and, more importantly, to the livelihood and success of our community.
