In order to help the community during the 2018 holiday season, Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Fasano is sponsoring the following events.
Put a smile on a child’s face by donating to the Marine Corps League’s annual toy drive, Toys 4 Tots. All five tax collector office locations in Pasco County will be drop-off sites up to Dec. 15, for toy donations for children of military personnel.
The Gulf Harbors and Wesley Chapel offices will collect for the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle drive, on Dec. 8 and Dec. 15. Stop by between 8:30 a.m. and noon on either day to make a contribution to the programs the Salvation Army provides throughout the year.
Collection jars will be on display in December in all five tax collector offices in the county, for The Volunteer Way/Farm Share. These donations will help purchase fresh food for families in need this holiday season, and into 2019.
If you’d like to play the role of Santa, claim an ornament from a “Giving Tree” and ‘Be a Santa to a Senior.’ Each ornament has a Christmas wish from a senior citizen in the community. Ornaments will be available until all have been claimed, at all five offices of the tax collector. Gifts will be collected up to Dec. 15.
“Please join the staff of the Pasco County Tax Collector’s Office as we celebrate the holidays by reaching out to those most in need,” said Mike Fasano, in a release.
“Your support of these wonderful local programs will help countless people enjoy the holidays this year. Your gift of any amount will go a long way towards helping our community have a joyous holiday season,” he said.
For details about each program, information on office hours and locations, or general questions about tax collector services, call Greg Giordano, assistant tax collector/communications and special projects, at (727) 847-8179.
