A call or letter about delinquent property taxes is worth handling quickly. Miami-Dade’s outreach team says it helped 1,046 property owners resolve their taxes after 2,428 tax-deed applications were filed during the latest reporting period. Because an application can move a home or business closer to public auction, verify any message directly with the Tax Collector, ask what is owed and address the account as early as possible. Call the official office at 305-375-5448 rather than relying on contact information in an unexpected message.

A meal at Casita Tejas comes with a side of Homestead history. This family-owned favorite has been serving downtown since 1987, right across from the Seminole Theatre. Stop in for fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, whole red snapper, or one of their weekday lunch combinations. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and they also offer catering for family celebrations, office meals, and other gatherings. Supporting longtime local spots like Casita Tejas helps keep downtown Homestead unique and keeps more of our dollars right here in the community. Planning a visit or larger gathering? Check the current menu or call 305-248-8224 for details.

Need one business card, team shirt or banner without committing to a bulk order? Queens Embroidery & Printing offers no minimums, free design help and bilingual service, with most orders ready about three to five business days after proof approval. The Princeton shop handles business cards, flyers, banners, yard signs, storefront graphics, vehicle wraps, printed shirts and embroidered polos, giving small businesses, schools and churches a practical way to test an idea before ordering more. Business cards are currently advertised at 15% off with code CARDS15, but check the live terms first. Ask for a written quote covering materials, dimensions, design work, proof rounds, tax and pickup date, then review the proof carefully because custom orders are final once production begins.

⏰ Time: 9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.

Current MDC Homestead students can take a creative break between classes during Stones, Beads and Self-Love, decorating a peace-and-hope stone for the campus Peace Garden and making a bracelet to bring home. The hands-on Changemaker Week activity offers an easy way to meet organizers, connect with campus life and leave an encouraging message in a shared space without committing to a longer program. Bring your MDC ID, head to AC-8 and arrive before the final half-hour; the event is listed for current students rather than the general public.

📅 Date: September 17, 2026
⏰ Time: 9:50 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
📍 Address: MDC Homestead Campus, AC-8, 500 College Terrace, Homestead, FL 33030
