Donations of non-perishable food items, toiletries, gift cards and cash can be made at any of the Pasco tax collector’s five offices.

PASCO COUNTY – Because of the ongoing federal government shutdown, the Pasco Tax Collector’s offices are accepting donations to help members of the U.S. Coast Guard and their families.

Donations of non-perishable food items, toiletries, gift cards and cash can be made at any of the five offices listed below. Cash and gift cards will be accepted at the front counter, the first stop in each office. Food items can be placed in the collection box which will be located in the front lobby of each office.

“While Washington plays politics with the federal budget, the reality back home is that the brave men and women who patrol our shoreline, catch drug smugglers, help stranded boaters and perform a host of other tasks to keep us safe are going without pay,” Pasco Tax Collector Mike Fasano said.  “Even though the paychecks have stopped coming, the rent and mortgage bills, car payments, childcare expenses, groceries bills and the whole litany of expenses we all deal with on a daily basis have not stopped. It is our hope to make this difficult time a little easier for the members of the Coast Guard and their families to endure.”
