Board Chair Brian Scott Visits First Contact
We were thrilled to welcome
Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners Chair Brian Scott and Coleen Chaney to
First Contact today!
They took time out of their day to learn more about the vital work we do—including our 988 and 211 helplines, specialized hotlines, and financial assistance programs that serve individuals and families across our community.
We’re grateful for the continued support from
Pinellas County Government and proud of our strong partnership working together to make a difference.
Thank you, Commissioner Scott and Coleen, for stopping by and for championing the needs of our community!
At First Contact, we believe that everyone deserves to feel safe and supported—especially during times of crisis. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of a brand-new resource on our website: Disaster Preparedness for Older Adults and Caregivers.
This dedicated webpage is designed to help older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers feel confident and ready when emergencies strike. From hurricanes and floods to power outages and evacuation scenarios, our resource hub offers practical, accessible tools to plan ahead and stay protected.
Happy National 211 Day!
At First Contact, we are always seeking to connect with organizations that are making a meaningful impact in the community.
The start of a new year offers a fresh opportunity to focus on what truly matters: your well-being.
AARP has named Kip Corriveau to its Executive Council.
We’re incredibly grateful to State Representative Berny Jacques for visiting First Contact.
We are thrilled to announce that Annah-Lauren Valicoff, Director of Population Health - Clinical Programs at BayCare, has joined our First Contact Board of Directors!
First Contact is proud to announce the integration of data from 211 Counts, a real-time community needs dashboard, with its own internal insights to paint a detailed picture of the challenges faced by residents in our community.
As the communities of Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, and Hillsborough counties continue to recover from the devastating impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, First Contact is proud to recognize the incredible work of our dedicated staff.
In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, First Contact was proud to partner with the Hello In There Foundation to provide critical support to Gulfport seniors and hospitality workers who were severely impacted by the storms.
