3rd Annual Race to End Homelessness 8k Run

Housing Authority of the City of Tampa's 3rd Annual

8k run to end homelessness.

Have you ever thought about how you can help homeless families in the community. There is simply not enough funding in the community to help all families. However, you can be part of the community solution by showing your support for this worthy cause. All proceeds go directly to homeless families in our community. Funding will go towards purchasing food, clothing, household goods, security deposits, utility deposits, birth certificates, and social security cards. There are many families that have been homeless for over 10 years and without assistance, may die on the streets. Any amount that is provided will help.

Last year with the generous donations and participation, THA raised over $1,500 for homeless families in the community.
