Through FSCJ Serves, Florida State College at Jacksonville students are invited to support our local Animal Care & Protective Services (ACPS) shelters by participating in a community donation drive. These shelters rely heavily on donated materials to help provide comfort, sanitation, and enrichment for animals while they wait to be adopted. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to donate gently used or new items to support the care of shelter animals.
Drive Dates: March 24 – April 24, 2026
Drop-Off Locations: FSCJ Student Life Centers (All Campuses)
Requested Donation Items Animal Care & Protective Services is currently in need of the following:
- Used towels (bath towels, hand towels, and small towels)
- Flat bed sheets (please do not donate fitted sheets with elastic to ensure safe use by the animals)
- Pillow cases Animal treats
All donated items should be clean and in usable condition.
Donations may be dropped off at any FSCJ Student Life Center during the drive dates.
Students who donate items may receive volunteer credit through FSCJ Serves as follow:

We thank you for supporting a great cause for our fur-friends!
