Holiday Registration is Open


*IMPORTANT UPDATE*

As of now, we are beyond capacity for Thanksgiving assistance in Hillsborough County, even after extending our resources by an additional 30% beyond our initial plan. Space is still available in West Pasco, but we expect this site to reach capacity shortly. If you are in need of food, assistance is available at our pantry sites in Hillsborough and Pasco counties.

We want to express our deep gratitude for the overwhelming response to our holiday assistance program, and we’re committed to finding solutions and working together to continue to support our community.

To see other resources available, please visit the Get Help section of our website. 


Register to receive holiday food, a frozen ham or turkey, fresh produce, and gifts for children ages 0-17 (Gifts in December only). When registering, choose the location nearest to you. Our tent locations offer in-person shopping and our pop-up locations are drive through distribution sites.

Holiday Pop-Up Locations: Pop-up locations are for client services only. No donation drop-off.
