The Sword and Spoon is a 501c3 Non-Profit Charity that was created with the local Knights of Columbus #10377 and St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church. Together we served food to the homeless and those at risk in Port Richey and Hudson communities. A lot of changes since 2014, but still the same mission. We joined the Coalition for the Homeless of Pasco County Continuum of Care in 2016 and became an Official Outreach Team for them in 2019. We now cover the whole county and rotate our Outreach Teams throughout.

The Sword and Spoon is part of the Coordinated Entry System of Pasco County Continuum of Care and is one of the Designated Access Points available. We also serve on the Leadership Board for the Coalition for the Homeless of Pasco County. We make every attempt to locate, identify, and assess our homeless citizens in distress who may not know who or how to access the resources needed for their situation.

We are skateboarders and caring individuals giving ALL kids a chance to have their very own first skateboard. In 2006 at the Skatepark of Tampa, we started to collect and refurbish skateboards to distribute to youth who could not afford their own. In 2014, we became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization fully committed to providing equipment, safe skate spots and youth mentoring in our community. Additionally, our model empowers skateboarders to participate in community service as a donor, volunteer or project manager. In 2016, we began the process of taking our successful Tampa-based model and expanding our mission nationally. We are thrilled to have chapters in North Carolina, New Jersey, New York andCalifornia in addition to our very active headquarters in Tampa.

Why skateboards? The magic of a skateboard is that it is a mode of transportation in addition to being a tool for play, a tool for discovery, a tool to develop physical skill, a tool to interact with others who share an interest in skateboarding, a tool to teach problem-solving and a tool to teach perseverance. It is good for the mind and the body. It is fun. It can change someone’s life.
