Wishlist:

Monetary donation assistance to help cover child care costs for our participants is an ongoing need. We gladly accept automobiles, trucks & boats in working condition. The sale of vehicles helps to support our programs and assist our clients. Tampa Crossroads is a 501-C(3) organization, and all donations are tax deductible.

Volunteer Opportunities:

Volunteers with trucks are needed on an ongoing basis to help with transportation of donated furniture and other furnishings for veterans and veteran families who are being assisted with moving into permanent housing. Such donations often come with the contingency that we pick-up the item, so this is a valuable service that we cannot provide without the assistance of volunteers.
