Our History
Kennedy Cares is a small community charity founded in 2014 with a heartfelt mission to support individuals and families within the Hillsborough & Pasco community. The organization was inspired by the Co-founder, Jodi C's daughter, Kennedy, who possesses a compassionate heart and a strong desire to assist those in need. Co-founder Sandra Parlett is part of the original team and serves as the Director. Over the years, Kennedy Cares' scope of work has expanded to address the community's growing needs. In 2017, the group became Kennedy Cares Tampa Bay and secured its non-profit designation. From 2021 to 2022, our membership grew by more than 1,000 new members, bringing our total membership to 5,500, and is continuing to grow with an average of 1000 new members each year.
