Category 4 Hurricanes Helene & Milton decimated Florida. Here in Pasco where there are thousands of people in emergency situations from the disaster, United Way of Pasco County is calling on you to help us step up as a community to serve those in need.
We are focused on providing immediate relief to those affected from wind and storm surge. We have launched our Relief Fund for all Pasco Residents! DONATE HERE : https://bit.ly/HurricaneReliefPasco 100% of proceeds going directly to residents in the form of:
Temporary Housing in the form of Hotels
Warm Meals
Basic Needs
Here’s how your financial contributions can make a direct impact through our fund:
$10 covers a warm meal for someone displaced.
$20 provides transportation from a flooded home to a nearby shelter.
$30 feeds a family for an entire day in one of Pasco County’s shelters.
$150 places a family in a hotel for one night.
$450 covers three nights of hotel accommodation for a displaced family.

Recent Relief Efforts
United Way of Pasco County has worked tirelessly to provide meals, shelter, and essential supplies to those affected. Here’s how we’ve been helping:
50 meals were donated by Culver’s and distributed by United Way for emergency personnel and first responders.
100 Publix subs were distributed to emergency workers.
150 meals were purchased and delivered to Pasco shelters.
We have placed dozens of displaced families in hotels, and we continue to purchase basic necessities for those in urgent need. We are currently providing a hotel stay for a family whose home was devastated while they were at the hospital welcoming their newborn baby. This family lost everything and needed clothing, baby supplies, and food during this critical time.
Undergarments, baby supplies, toiletries, and other essential items were purchased from our office and distributed to many of the Pasco Shelters. In one such case at the Fasano Shelter, our staff met an elderly woman who had lost everything but her wheelchair. With our support, she received the supplies and undergarments she desperately needed to stay comfortable at the shelter.
