District 15 is the Alcoholics Anonymous service district for the West Pasco / Tarpon Springs area of Florida, and aapasco.org is its information page. It covers A.A. meetings and service in Aripeka, Holiday, Hudson, Port Richey, Shady Hills, Tarpon Springs, and New Port Richey, and it publishes the local Central Office contact details plus hotline numbers for nearby counties. Use it if you are looking for A.A. contact information or service in that part of Pasco County; it is a local service site, not a treatment provider.

Who the site serves

The page identifies the organization as District 15 – West Pasco Alcoholics Anonymous and lists its coverage area as:

• Aripeka
• Holiday
• Hudson
• Port Richey
• Shady Hills
• Tarpon Springs
• New Port Richey

These are the communities the district describes itself as serving. If you live outside this list, the neighboring hotlines below are the more relevant starting point.

Central Office contact information

The site publishes the details for the West Pasco / Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office (Intergroup):

The page also states that the office is always looking for office volunteers, so if you want to be of service locally, the phone number or email above is the contact route the site gives.

Nearby A.A. hotlines

For callers outside District 15, the page lists these regional hotlines:

How to use the page

1. Check whether you are in the service area. If your community is on the District 15 list, start with the Central Office phone or email.
2. Call the Central Office at (727) 847-0777 for local A.A. information, or email [email protected].
3. Use a neighboring hotline if you are in Tampa/Hillsborough, Hernando, Pinellas, or East Pasco/Polk, since those numbers are listed separately.
4. Ask about volunteering at the office if you want to help — the site says volunteers are always needed.

The page itself is a contact and service-area reference. It does not publish meeting schedules, prices, or membership requirements, so for anything beyond contact details, the Central Office is the place to ask.

District 15 – West Pasco Alcoholics Anonymous serves seven named communities on Florida's west coast: Aripeka, Holiday, Hudson, Port Richey, Shady Hills, Tarpon Springs, and New Port Richey. If you live in or near one of these towns, you fall within District 15's service area and can use its local A.A. resources. If you are outside these communities, the district page points you to neighboring hotlines instead.

The District 15 Service Area

The district lists its coverage directly on its site, describing itself as "Serving – DISTRICT 15" followed by these towns:

The district's central office — the West Pasco / Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office — is located at 5252 SR 54, New Port Richey, FL 34652, with phone (727) 847-0777 and email [email protected]. The office also notes it is always looking for office volunteers.

How to Tell Whether You Are in District 15

Use this quick check:

1. Identify your town. If it matches one of the seven names above, you are in District 15's area.
2. Check nearby unincorporated areas. Communities adjacent to Hudson, Port Richey, or New Port Richey generally fall within the West Pasco coverage; the district page does not list separate sub-areas, so the town names are the practical guide.
3. If your town is not listed, treat yourself as outside District 15 and use the neighboring hotlines below rather than the New Port Richey office.

A useful example: someone in Tarpon Springs is covered by District 15 even though Tarpon Springs sits in Pinellas County, because the district explicitly pairs "West Pasco / Tarpon Springs" in its name and service list. Someone in central Pasco (e.g., Dade City or Zephyrhills) is not listed and should use the East Pasco hotline instead.

If You Are Outside the District

The district page lists other A.A. hotlines for surrounding areas, which is the right contact point when your town is not in District 15:

• Tampa – Hillsborough: 813-933-9123
• Hernando County: 352-683-4597
• Pinellas County: 727-530-0415
• East Pasco – Polk: 863-688-0211

These numbers let you reach the intergroup or central office that covers your actual location, so you are not routed to a district that does not serve you.

Deciding Who to Contact

• In Aripeka, Holiday, Hudson, Port Richey, Shady Hills, Tarpon Springs, or New Port Richey: contact the West Pasco / Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office at (727) 847-0777 or [email protected].
• In Hillsborough/Tampa, Hernando, Pinellas outside Tarpon Springs, or East Pasco/Polk: use the matching hotline above.
• Unsure which side of a boundary you are on: call the Central Office and describe your town; the office serving District 15 is the natural first check for the West Pasco communities.

The district page does not publish meeting schedules, pricing, or membership requirements, so contact the office directly for those details rather than assuming them from the site.

Yes. The District 15 – West Pasco Alcoholics Anonymous site states, in the listing for the Intergroup West Pasco/Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office, “WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR OFFICE VOLUNTEERS.” That is a standing call for help at the central office, not a one-time event notice. The page does not describe schedules, training, or eligibility requirements, so anyone interested should contact the office directly to ask what is currently needed.

What the Site Says About Volunteering

The volunteer notice appears alongside the central office’s contact details on aapasco.org. The full listing identifies the office as:

• Intergroup West Pasco/Tarpon Springs Alcoholics Anonymous
• West Pasco / Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office
• Address: 5252 SR 54, New Port Richey, FL 34652
• Phone: (727) 847-0777
• Email: [email protected]

The phrase “always looking” suggests ongoing recruitment rather than a seasonal drive. Beyond that, the page gives no details about time commitments, duties, or how volunteers are selected.

How to Ask About Volunteering

Because the site provides only the general notice, the practical next step is to reach the office and ask specifically about office volunteer opportunities.

By phone

Call (727) 847-0777. This is the central office line listed on the page. When you call, you can ask:

• Whether office volunteer positions are open right now
• What days and times volunteers are needed
• Whether any orientation or training is provided
• Who coordinates the volunteer schedule

By email

Write to [email protected]. An email is useful if you want a written answer or prefer to explain your availability in advance. Mention that you saw the volunteer notice on the District 15 site and ask for current needs.

In person

The office address is 5252 SR 54, New Port Richey, FL 34652. Visiting during office hours is another way to ask about volunteering, though the page does not list office hours, so calling ahead is sensible.

What to Confirm Before Committing

The site does not answer several questions a prospective volunteer would reasonably have. Confirm these with the office rather than assuming:

Who This Is For

This notice is relevant to anyone in the District 15 service area who wants to support the local A.A. central office with their time. District 15 serves Aripeka, Holiday, Hudson, Port Richey, Shady Hills, Tarpon Springs, and New Port Richey, so volunteers from those communities are the natural audience. The page does not state that volunteers must live in these areas, but the office serves them.

If you are outside this area, the page also lists other A.A. hotline numbers — Tampa/Hillsborough (813-933-9123), Hernando County (352-683-4597), Pinellas County (727-530-0415), and East Pasco/Polk (863-688-0211) — which may point you to the right local office.

Bottom Line

The West Pasco/Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office does want volunteers, according to the explicit notice on aapasco.org. The site does not spell out how the program works, so the reliable path is to call (727) 847-0777 or email [email protected] and ask about current office volunteer needs, schedules, and any preparation required.

Call (727) 847-0777, email [email protected], or visit the West Pasco / Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office at 5252 SR 54, New Port Richey, FL 34652. These are the contact details published on aapasco.org for the District 15 – West Pasco Alcoholics Anonymous central office. Use them when you want to reach the local A.A. office serving Aripeka, Holiday, Hudson, Port Richey, Shady Hills, Tarpon Springs, and New Port Richey.

Central Office Contact Details

The site also notes that the office is always looking for office volunteers, so the phone or email is also the route to ask about volunteering.
