On this day, he’s stopped in for a shower and to stuff his backpack with some penne pasta and Quaker Oats. The retiree, who says he chooses to sleep in the woods, says the not-for-profit lives up to its name. “They’ve kept me alive,” Sanderson explained. “They play an integral part in Oldsmar.” Oldsmar Cares has been caring for people living in and around Oldsmar for 24 years. The group’s building at 149 SR 580 West, houses a food pantry, clothes closet, and shower and laundry facilities. Oldsmar Cares also helps people with job counseling and utility assistance.
