For the Love of Cats Selected as May Community Bag Program

Dedicated to saving cats and kittens in need through Collier County’s underserved communities, For the Love of Cats is proud to be selected for the second time this year as the nonprofit beneficiary of Winn-Dixie’s Community Bag Program for the Month of May.

Winn-Dixie’s Community Bag Program donates $1 back to local nonprofits with every $2.99 reusable bag purchased. Started in 2019, this program is a great way for shoppers to find simple ways to give back throughout their weekly shopping routine.

“We are thrilled to be welcomed back to Winn-Dixie for the second time this year! It’s remarkable to have outstanding support from our community and business leaders on local issues like cat overpopulation that we experience firsthand,” said Heather Hubbard, Marketing Manager at For the Love of Cats. “More than ever, we are meeting the need to help low-income households keep their beloved felines healthy, happy, and above all - home. With kitten season underway and hurricane season just around the corner, every dollar donated allows us to continue to say yes to every phone call we receive to rescue, heal, and help our domestic and stray cat populations.”

To bolster May fundraising efforts, For the Love of Cats is planning two pop-up events at the front entrance of Winn-Dixie located on 625 North Collier Boulevard, Marco Island, Florida. Both events are slated to feature irresistibly adorable kittens!

The first event will be Mother’s Day Weekend: Saturday, May 7 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. 

The second event will be Memorial Day Weekend: Saturday, May 28, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

For the Love of Cats is a 501(c)3 non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to saving the lives of cats and kittens in need in the community since 2002. 

All donations benefit cats and kittens in need throughout Collier County and help low-income families through programs that offer low cost spay/neuter, emergency and wellness veterinary care, and TNR (trap, neuter, return) for feral and community cats. Their pet food pantry provides dog and cat food to underserved families in need and paid adoption fees and gift certificates for senior cats adopted to seniors throughout Collier County.
