The Red Apple School and the Thomas Promise Foundation were the joint charities of the month at the Pasco Tax Collector’s Office during January of this year. The Red Apple School assists individuals with developmental disabilities once they have completed high school to become more independent.
The Thomas Promise Foundation provides weekend food for children in need who attend Pasco County Schools.
“The Red Apple staff and students would like to thank all of the staff from the Pasco County Tax Collector’s office and each and every one of the Pasco County residents who were kind enough to contribute to this fundraiser,” states Trudy Acevedo, Executive Director. “We are pleased to announce that the money received from this fundraiser will go towards supporting individuals with disabilities to receive a scholarship to attend The Red Apple School, Inc. where they will be offered a variety of meaningful activities. We appreciate the generosity and support.”
“The Thomas Promise Foundation would like to thank the Tax Collector staff for all their hard work each month helping to support local charities, along with a special thank you as well to the Pasco County residents that donated to our program,” comments Dianna Thomas, Founder & Executive Director.
“Your generous donations allowed us to provide over 1300 meals to Pasco County children. It is your support that helps us to meet the nutritional needs of over 1600 students each and every week.”
The Pasco County Tax Collector’s Office supports local charitable organizations that assist residents of Pasco County throughout the entire year.
