The Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative (THHI) is looking for 500 volunteers to participate in the 2019 Point-in-Time Count, which will take place from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. on Thursday, February 28. In partnership with Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa, the 2019 Point-in-Time Count is a systematic plan where volunteers will provide a snapshot of the homeless population by counting homeless residents in Hillsborough County.
Volunteers will be deployed in two shifts (7 a.m.-12 Noon and 3-8 p.m.) from Brandon, Downtown Tampa, Plant City, Ruskin, Town ‘N Country, West Tampa, Westshore and the University Area. Sign up to volunteer here.
Since 2014, THHI has joined with federal, state, local and private entities to develop effective strategies toward ending homelessness. Volunteers can also participate by hosting a toiletry drive to collect hygiene items that will be distributed to the homeless residents during the Point-in-Time Count, making a monetary donation toward the Point-in-Time Count that will help fund efforts to end homelessness in Hillsborough County and sharing with friends and family about the need for volunteers and donations for Point-in-Time Count.
Anyone under 18 must be in high school and accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during the entire volunteer shift. For more information, visit thhi.org/2019pit or call 223-6115.
