Together, we can alleviate suffering and promote dignity so more individuals and families in Tampa Bay can live self-sufficient, fulfilling lives.
Nutritious meals and food
For families forced to decide between paying rent and buying food for their children, your gift of nutritious meals, boxes of food, and essentials means EVERYTHING.
Safe shelter for parents and their children
The streets are no place for a child to live. You help desperate parents find safe refuge for their families while they work on getting back to stability and self-sufficiency.
Family support
Our First Hug mobile child-centered program is just one way we help support kids and provide tools for parents to advocate for their children.
Metro BrigAIDe
The Metro BrigAIDe Mobile Outreach team serves at more than 20 locations to address immediate needs and connect people to resources that can help end homelessness.
Adult education
We help adult learners achieve educational and career goals and improve their technical and professional qualifications, further developing their abilities and enriching their knowledge.
