HOPE AFTER HELENE
11 hours ago
THIS IS OUR HOME—The impact of Hurricane Helene devastated our neighborhoods and communities— But if there’s one thing we know — we’re Tampa Bay Strong.
We’ve partnered with Metropolitan Ministries and all day Wednesday, we’re raising money that will stay in this community and go directly to those affected. Families that need groceries, food, water and shelter—these funds stay right here in Tampa Bay.
Join us and if you’re able to give back or want to know how to get assistance for your families. Let’s Pay It Forward to those who need it most.
Hope does more in Tampa Bay. Thank You to Metropolitan Ministries - We’re Tampa Bay Strong!
