Houndhaven, Inc., a non-profit, no-kill dog rescue shelter, will receive donations through sales of reusable Community Bags this month at the Clermont Winn Dixie.

The Community Bag Program is a reusable bag program that features two reusable Community Bags and allows customers to direct a donation to a non-profit organization when a bag is purchased.  Houndhaven receives a $1 donation every time either of the reusable Community Bags are purchased at the Clermont store in March.  These colorful, reusable bags can be found on the reusable bag rack at the store.  Look for the bags with a tag that features a blue heart with $1 in it.  The bags cost $2.50 each.

To help Houndhaven even more, you can fill the bag with items such as canned dog food, paper towel, bleach, dishwasher soap, HE laundry soap, kitchen trash bags and leave it for Houndhaven at the Customer Service Desk.

Houndhaven, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit charity based in Minneola, FL.  Founded in 2000, Houndhaven has rescued more than 1,500 dogs and puppies, provided them with excellent vet care and placed them in loving homes.  Houndhaven is strictly a no kill organization and is operated entirely by donations and volunteer help.

About Houndhaven, Inc.

Houndhaven, Inc. was named a “2020 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews of charities and nonprofits.

Houndhaven rescues dogs and puppies from life-threatening circumstances, restores them to health and places them in loving homes.  Houndhaven has saved more than 1,500 dogs since its inception in December 2000.  It is one of very few shelters in Florida that operates entirely on donations, grants and volunteers.  See www.houndhaven.org for more details.

“We are honored to be named a 2020 Top-Rated Nonprofit,” says Linda Coletta, President and Founder of Houndhaven. “We are happy and grateful to be able to help deserving dogs get a second chance at a good life.  Some of them have significant medical needs, and we are so glad to be able to help them, thanks to our donors and volunteers.”

The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that Houndhaven received from volunteers, donors and aid recipients.  Here’s an example of the reviews for Houndhaven:  “We absolutely love Houndhaven! My husband and I found the perfect dog for our new family. It is clear that the goal of Houndhaven is to find the right family for each dog, not just to adopt dogs out to anyone. We love their mission and how much they do for these dogs! They treat them like family and then treat the new families like family!”

“Houndhaven is a great example of a nonprofit making a real difference in their community,” said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits, “Their award is well-deserved recognition not only of their work but the tremendous support they receive, as shown by the many outstanding reviews they have received from people who have direct experience working with Houndhaven.”

GreatNonprofits is the leading website where people share stories about their personal experiences on more than 1.6 million charities and nonprofits. The GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Awards are the only awards for nonprofits determined by those who have direct experience with the charities – as donors, volunteers and recipients of aid.
