Tax Collector Mike Fasano announces that $6,000 was raised to benefit CARES, the featured charity of the month in May. CARES (Community Aging & Retirement Services) is a Pasco County-based organization that provides services to seniors so they can stay in their homes and be as independent as possible. The funds were raised through the hard work of the tax collector staff in the five offices located throughout the county. The CARES “Pet Project” was created to help feed and support the animals who so often are the only companion older members of our community may have.
“A pet is a true companion that gives unconditional love and friendship,” states Jemith Rosa President & CEO of CARES. “Thank you, Mike Fasano, for helping CARES provide this support to our vulnerable seniors in Pasco County.”
