Tax Collector Mike Fasano’s five offices will be collecting donations for the Pasco County School District’s ABC (Assist, Believe & Care) Program. The program was created to provide financial assistance to students and their families who are experiencing economic hardship, especially when those needs interfere with the student’s ability to be academically successful. The cash donated goes into a fund that teachers can use when they see or learn of a need a child may have. In past years this office has donated thousands of dollars to Pasco schools to support this important program.
“COVID has brought uncertainty to so many people, especially those who have been economically impacted by it,” comments Tax Collector Mike Fasano. “The strain can be enormous, especially when a parent loses a job or a single parent is struggling to raise children while doing all they can to make ends meet. Children without food, adequate clothing or other unmet needs often suffer academically. The ABC Program was designed to help students and their families who are experiencing hardship or crisis. The assistance provided helps students get back on track and stay on track. During the month of July our five offices will be collecting donations to help children and their families during their time of need.”
Cash donations can be made at any of the five tax collector locations in Pasco County.
