Florida 1.27 is a faith-based nonprofit in the Tampa Bay area that recruits and supports foster, adoptive, and kinship families across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. We use SMS text messaging to communicate with volunteers, partner churches, foster and adoptive families, kinship caregivers, and community contacts.
