Experiencing Homelessness in Hillsborough County.
We are all just one life event, and as seen by the hurricanes this past year, just one natural disaster, away from experiencing homelessness, ourselves.” -Tammi Casagni, CEO
This night is more than just an event – it’s a movement to bring hope and stability to families facing homelessness in Hillsborough County.
By joining us, you are not just attending an event; you are becoming a beacon of change for those who need it the most.
Be a part of a night filled with a community united for a common cause. This fully experiential event features peer to peer fundraising, live music, hands-on activities, community engagement and a transformational evening hosted by Tampa’s own Sarah Rosario as we sleepout in solidarity for homelessness at our campus.
You’ll know that every moment spent is making a direct impact on families striving for a brighter future.
I am amazed by the impact that a few faithful people can have when committed to a cause / purpose that is greater than themselves. The Dusk ‘Til Dawn event continues to enlarge my heart for the underserved, and it restores my faith in the power of human kindness
You might have slept in your car once or twice during a camping trip in the middle of the mountain or maybe you slept in your car while traveling to another state and thought nothing of it; but nothing comes close to the emotional impact it has to sleep in your car in your own city because you have nowhere else to go. Sleeping in my car was, to say the least, difficult and I didn’t even have children with me. Can’t even imagine what it is like with a newborn or younger children. We need to get them off the streets and into safe housing now!
Dawning Family Services gave us hope when we had none. They helped us secure housing in our darkest hour, and helped me grow my skills so that I could find a better job. Thanks to their support, we now have a home and a future.
At Suncoast Credit Union, we believe that every family deserves a safe and stable home. The 16% increase in families experiencing homelessness between 2022 and 2023 highlights a growing crisis that requires both immediate support and long-term, systemic change. By partnering with Dawning Family Services, we’re not just providing temporary relief—we’re helping to lay the groundwork for a future where every family has the resources, stability, and opportunities they need to build independent, thriving lives.”
When Ms. Joseph found herself and her children living in their car, it felt like her world was crumbling. After losing her home and support system, they faced unimaginable hardships—living out of their car, and bathing and cooking outdoors, all while Ms. Joseph struggled to maintain hope for a positive outcome and provide for her children.
But in the midst of despair, hope arrived. A call to 211 connected her with Dawning Family Services. In August 2024, just before the school year began, Ms. Joseph received the life-changing news: a safe place for her family was available.
That moment brought a wave of relief and joy. Through the support of Dawning Family Services, Ms. Joseph found stability, strength, and the power of patience. She secured a part-time job, moved into her apartment of choice, and started building a brighter future.
“I’m so thankful to say we’re flourishing and thriving,” Ms. Joseph shares. “I have a job, our own apartment, and a chance to save money. My next goal is to purchase a four-bedroom home for us to truly call our own. Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. I am forever grateful for the journey and ready for what comes next.”
At Dawning Family Services, stories like Ms. Joseph’s inspire us to continue providing hope and resources to families in need. Together, we’re creating brighter tomorrows.
