Safety Month 2025 Wrap-Up

What a fantastic June we had! The Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office wrapped up its annual Safety Month events with dozens of community members taking advantage of free services across all six participating offices. It’s been incredible to see how bringing essential health services directly to our local tax collector offices has made such a difference in removing barriers for families who need these resources.

The numbers tell an amazing story – Lions World Vision Institute’s Glazer Mobile Vision Clinic provided free vision screenings to 54 children, and 34 of them walked away with new glasses!

Meanwhile, Sertoma Speech & Hearing Foundation was busy helping folks with hearing screenings and consultations through their mobile units. Our other community partners were equally impactful, offering everything from safety education to family support resources.

We can’t thank our community partners enough for making this happen: Lions World Vision Institute, Sertoma Speech & Hearing Foundation, Hillsborough Fire Rescue, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Highway Patrol, Children’s Board of Hillsborough County, USF Center for Urban Transportation Research, and the YMCA. Their partnership and commitment to our community’s health and safety is what makes events like this possible.

Here’s to another successful Safety Month and the power of working together to serve Hillsborough County!
