Non-Profit Organizations

Friends of the Club include many non-profit organizations that Kings Point Sportsman’s Club proudly supports by raising awareness and promoting causes important to our members. These valued groups include the Sun City Center Emergency Squad, which provides basic life support services, and the Nearly New Thrift Shop, which raises funds for community needs and scholarships. We also support local food pantries, animal rescues, and museums dedicated to preserving history and culture, such as the Florida Railroad Museum and Selby Gardens. By partnering with these organizations, the club strengthens community connections and helps make a meaningful impact beyond our membership.

The ECHO Food Pantry along with the ECHO Clothing Closet was created to assist our neighbors who have suffered a recent emergency and need help with food and clothing. Neighbors who have undergone a recent loss of a job, or reduced income due to health issues, house fire, require help for emergency foster children, or other hardships are encouraged to visit us. Our neighbors in need receive 20 lbs of food and are equipped with five outfits and one pair of shoes. Children receive two new pairs of socks and underwear or diapers. If you know of someone in need please refer them to us.

The Interfaith Action Council and Nearly New Shop have been a force for good in the South Shore area for decades. Our store serves the community as a friendly and welcoming place to shop for bargains and a place to see friends and neighbors.

When you shop at the Nearly New Shop, you are helping generate proceeds that go towards grants and scholarships distributed by the Interfaith Social Action Council of Sun City Center. The Council has operated the thrift store with its wonderful volunteers for over 54+ years.

Proceeds are used to support local nonprofit programs such as food banks and emergency assistance programs in the Sun City Center, Ruskin and Wimauma area, Sun City Center Emergency Squad, and Wimauma Boys and Girls Club

The Council also awards scholarships to dozens of seniors graduating from local high schools who are furthering their education at an accredited college, university or trade school.
