Les Olson Jewelers Partners with FEAST Food Pantry and Church of the Ascension

In the wake of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton's devastating impact on our community, local businesses and organizations have come together in a powerful display of solidarity and compassion. Les Olson Jewelers, a proud member of the Pinellas Coastal community, is honored to partner with two incredible organizations—FEAST Food Pantry and the Church of the Ascension—to provide much-needed relief for those affected by the storm.

As part of our ongoing commitment to giving back and supporting our neighbors, Les Olson Jewelers is serving as a donation drop-off location for non-perishable goods in support of FEAST Food Pantry and clothing donations for the Church of the Ascension.

Through this collaboration, Les Olson Jewelers is providing a convenient and accessible location for our customers and the greater Pinellas Coastal community to contribute.

Donate Non-Perishable Goods for FEAST Food Pantry
FEAST Food Pantry has been a pillar of support for families in need throughout Palm Harbor and surrounding areas for many years. In this time of crisis, they are working tirelessly to provide food and essential supplies to those impacted by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

Canned goods (vegetables, beans, fruits, soups)
Cereal and boxed meals
Rice, pasta, and canned protein (chicken, tuna, etc.)
Canned or dried fruit

Donate Clothing for Church of the Ascension
The Church of the Ascension is also on the front lines, providing essential support to those displaced by the hurricane. In addition to food, the church is collecting clothing donations for individuals and families who lost belongings in the storm. Whether it's gently used clothing or new items, your donations will provide much-needed comfort to those trying to rebuild their lives after the devastation.

Needed Items for Clothing Donations Include:
New and gently used clothing for men, women, and children
New or gently used shoes
Coats, jackets, and blankets

How the Partnership Helps
Les Olson Jewelers has always been committed to community involvement, and this partnership is just one example of how local businesses can make a tangible difference. By acting as a drop-off location, we are not only making it easier for our customers to give back, but also ensuring that these donations reach those who need them most.

Why This Partnership Matters:
FEAST Food Pantry relies on community donations to continue providing food to hundreds of families each month. After a disaster like Hurricane Helene, their resources are stretched thin, and your donations can help keep their shelves stocked.
Church of the Ascension serves as a critical support network, offering clothing, comfort, and a safe place for people affected by the storm. Their efforts extend far beyond the church walls, reaching out to everyone in the community who is struggling.

At Les Olson Jewelers, we believe in the power of community. We are deeply grateful to FEAST Food Pantry and Church of the Ascension for their ongoing dedication to helping those in need, and we are honored to serve as a donation drop-off location for these worthy causes. Together, we can help families rebuild and recover, one act of kindness at a time.
