Emergency Services

Tarpon Springs Shepherd Center understands that emergency situations arise. By responding to these urgent requests, we assist in ultimately easing, alleviating, or preventing a possibly critical situation.

We can provide help with emergency food, clothing, and/or assistance to pay an electric bill. Perhaps you need a bus pass to go to a job interview.  Whatever it may be, we’re here to lend a helping hand.

Mental Health Counseling

Many people struggle with their mental health. Seeking mental health counseling is most likely seen as an impossible afterthought due to how expensive it is.  At the Tarpon Springs Shepherd Center, we have partnerships with local Mental Health resources who provide feedback, advice and guidance from a licensed, professional
therapist. Hours of Operation:  Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. Emergency food bags are available.  Closed for lunch daily 12-1. Please call us at 727-939-1400 x419 or press #3 for the Outreach Department for support or to schedule an appointment.
