Making a Difference, One Supply at a Time: Tax Collector’s Office Donates 34,221 Items to HEF
Community and Tax Collector employees unite to ensure students start the school year prepared to succeed
TAMPA, Fla., September 5, 2025 – The Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office proudly announces the outstanding success of its July school supply drive, collecting an impressive 34,221 supplies for local students through the Hillsborough Education Foundation. The month-long initiative showcased the remarkable generosity of Tax Collector employees and community members who came together to support education across Hillsborough County.
The donated supplies, collected at all Tax Collector locations throughout July, will be distributed through the Hillsborough Education Foundation’s Teaching Tools Store, providing free resources to teachers across the county so they can ensure every student has the essential tools they need to be successful in school.
“When we come together to invest in our students’ education, we’re investing in our community’s future,” said Nancy Millan, Hillsborough County Tax Collector. “Every pencil, every notebook, and every backpack donated represents our collective commitment to ensuring that all children, regardless of their economic circumstances, have the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive.”
The 34,221 items collected included essential supplies such as pencils, notebooks, backpacks, and other classroom necessities that will directly benefit students and teachers throughout Hillsborough County’s public schools. This effort marks another successful year in the 15-year partnership between the Tax Collector’s Office and the Hillsborough Education Foundation.
