5 New Port Richey Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL — If you’re like many of your New Port Richey neighbors, you may spend a good part of the holiday season with your credit card in hand buying gifts for family and friends. Coming up soon is a chance to give back to the local community.

Giving Tuesday, which in 2024 falls on Dec. 3, is a day dedicated to supporting nonprofit and community groups. Since 2012, nonprofits worldwide have used the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to galvanize fundraising, rally volunteers and add momentum to their causes.

Maintaining funding is a constant challenge for many nonprofits that fill gaps and meet other needs in Pasco County.

Here are five local nonprofits to consider getting behind on Giving Tuesday:

1. United Way of Pasco County, which strives to improve lives for children, families and all people in the county.
2. Pasco Sheriff Charities, which raises money for causes throughout the county.
3. Pasco Kids First Inc., a children’s advocacy center that provides child abuse prevention, intervention and treatment services.
4. Rotary Club of New Port Richey, a local chapter of Rotary International that focuses on Pasco County issues and causes.
5. SPCA Suncoast, providing temporary homes for vulnerable animals that have been separated from their families for various reasons.
