Humane Society of Manatee County ON BEHALF OF THE ANIMALS, we truly appreciate the amazing support from our community. This support

has not only allowed the Humane Society of Manatee County to continue our life saving mission based work on behalf of the animals, but has allowed for an expansion of our veterinary clinic services, shelter enrichment programs and the expansion of our physical campus. Our communities have a large financially challenged population who own animals and these individuals and families struggle to provide veterinary care for their animals. Humane Society of Manatee County continues to provide much needed low-to-moderate cost veterinary services and low cost / no cost spay and neuter surgeries, microchips and vaccines. Two great programs that need your support are the Angel Fund, which provides funding to help financially challenged owners get their animals the veterinary care they deserve and need for emergency cases. A new fund, the Animal Cruelty Victims Fund, has been established to fund care needed for animals who have suffered from neglect or cruelty and are being cared for by our medical team.

Online donations can be made by going to www.humanemanatee.org and donations can be mailed to 2515 14th Street W. Bradenton, Florida 34205.

Tidewell Foundation

Expand unique services for Veterans Expand workforce development programs, such as our nurse residency program and home health aide training continuum

not-for-profit affiliates of Empath Health in our service area. As the only not-for-profit hospice serving Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota counties, the success of Tidewell’s 40+ year mission depends on the support of Tidewell Foundation donors. Our services go far beyond hospice, extending to grief counseling for children, music therapy, professional development for nurses, special programs for veterans, and so much more. This year’s fundraising goal of $5 million reflects the growth needs of Tidewell Hospice’s new and expanded services focused on providing full life care to all.

Donations to the Tidewell Foundation open new possibilities for the world-class care more than 11,000 patients receive each year, including the nearly 2,000 people served through Tidewell’s grief services. People of all ages are eligible for grief services at no cost — whether or not their loved one was a Tidewell Hospice patient. Our donor-supported investments have fueled the expansion of Tidewell’s Blue Butterfly program for grieving children and families into underserved communities, as well as our new Tidewell Family Grief Center in Ellenton. Donors are also helping to provide hands-on training to develop the next generation of hospice nurses and home healthcare aides, along with charity care for our patients who are too young to qualify for Medicare. Beyond these opportunities, our donors play a vital role in expanding programs such as Tidewell Honors Veterans, a comprehensive program focused on respectfully celebrating and providing care to veterans, and music

therapy, which harnesses the healing power of music to alleviate patients’ stress and pain.

Through your generosity, the Tidewell Foundation is advancing care and compassion for all. Connect with us for more information about these programs and to discover how your donation brightens lives in our community.
