We are dedicated to understanding the effects of governmental processes and decisions of essential public services, and to informing and educating the citizens of Florida about the impacts of these decisions on the quality of life for the people of our community, now and in the future. C.A.R.E.S. was organized in 1991. The purpose of the organization is to coordinate advocacy in Hillsborough County, share information on issues and increase the capacity of local advocates to work effectively for children and families. Officials are invited to local agencies to meet with clients and volunteers and to hear about the needs and legislative issues. C.A.R.E.S. has assisted many groups, the Florida Center for Children, Youth's Children's Campaign and the Children's Defense Fund, with local advocacy efforts.
Meetings are open to the public.
