The Arc of Florida/Center for Independence is the featured charitable organization for July by the Pasco County Tax Collector.
The goal is to raise funds to support those with developmental and other intellectual disabilities in the community. The Center for Independence is the Pasco County chapter of The Arc of Florida, and is a key provider of services to those with a variety of disabilities, according to a release.
Services there include residential, day-training, supported employment, and transportation assistance.
“Donations through the check-off program fund services that change the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Pasco County,” said Deborah Linton, chief executive of The Arc of Florida, in a release.
“There is probably not a person who does not know someone with a disability, whether a family member, friend or neighbor,” said county tax collector Mike Fasano, in a release. “The programs offered by the Center for Independence have made the lives of countless individuals better. Your donation of any amount will assist the center to continue providing the highest level of care possible.”
Customers who wish to support the charity can check off the box on their vehicle registration form to contribute $1 or more to the fund. Cash donations also will be accepted at tax collector’s offices around the county, like Land O’ Lakes, Dade City, New Port Richey and Gulf Harbors.
The promotion runs throughout July.
