PASCO PROGRAMS

BOXES OF HOPE FOOD DISTRIBUTION

Each Box of Hope provides enough provisions to feed a family of four for three days.

SUMMER CAMP
It's every kid's summer dream to be part of a fun, memorable day camp experience, but it's not always possible for each child. Our Summer Camp helps make this dream a reality for children whose families are experiencing homelessness or financial hardships.
Children in kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to attend a week-long, full-day summer camp every year. This free event is hosted by numerous churches and service organizations. Up to 120 children come to camp, held on the campus of Metropolitan Ministries, 3214 U.S. Highway 19 in Holiday, Florida.
Morning arrivals start at 8:00 am with afternoon pickup at 5:00 pm. Each day, campers receive a healthy breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Volunteers present various learning activities including singing, drama, arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor physical activities, as well as many special events. In addition, at the end of the week, all campers receive a new pair of shoes and a back-to-school backpack filled with all of the necessary supplies to help kick-off their new school year.
