MAKE AN IMPACT

Dawning Family Services invites you to our annual IMPACT Breakfast—a morning of inspiration, action, and community. This event brings together advocates, changemakers, and compassionate leaders to support families in Hillsborough County facing homelessness.

By attending, you’re not just raising awareness; you’re fueling real change, providing shelter, support, and stability to those who need it most. In 2025, Dawning Family Services assisted 1640 individuals, including 1050 children, across 459 households. Our programs—Family Homeless Prevention, Emergency Bridge Housing, Rapid Re-Housing, and Employment Support Services—achieved remarkable outcomes: 94% of families in our Rapid Re-Housing program secured permanent housing, and 77% in our Homeless Prevention services avoided homelessness altogether.

Your support at the IMPACT Breakfast directly contributes to these life-changing services, helping families transition from crisis to stability.

To participate in this year’s event, Scan the QR Code below or call Chief Development Officer, Rebecca Payne at 407.607.6272 or rpayne@dawningfamilyservices.org.

MAKE AN IMPACT

Every day, families in our community face the devastating reality of homelessness and every day, we have the power to change that story.
