The Project
Each year, the Office of Shared Student Services and the USF Health Homecoming committee plan an exciting, fun-filled week to celebrate and promote school spirt, open our doors to the USF community, showcase our colleges and schools and entice alumni to "come home" to reconnect with friends. Part of the celebration is dedicated to serving and giving back to the community.
This year, the committee has selected Tampa Bay Street Medicine (TBSM) as the organization of choice. Tampa Bay Street Medicine is a student organization at USF Health dedicated to improving the medical care of the houseless in our community.
What Your Gifts Will Do
All proceeds go directly toward purchasing supplies and equipment for TBSM service events, which bring free healthcare to the houseless in Tampa. A few examples include:
- Over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, anti-histamines, antacids and more
- Wound care supplies such as bandages, gauze, antibacterial ointment and more
- Outreach supplies such as socks, blankets, hygiene supplies, women's health supplies and more
TBSM works to engage individuals outside of the traditional healthcare system in order to assess each unique situation holistically and develop a realistic plan to improve their health.
