From the Charity Committee

November is the month we are turning our focus to Feed the Homeless and our local charity Blanket Tampa Bay. This charity not only feeds the homeless every week and provides the people with necessary supplies but they also have a mission to establish an Urban Rest Stop in the Tampa Bay area. Watch your email for upcoming details including the date and items needed for this year's Feeding the Homeless event. We are really looking forward to this event, the camaraderie it brings, and KBR helping so many people.   Thank you all for your support for My Hope Chest. Your t-shirt, hockey ticket, and wrist band purchases have been very helpful in raising funds. It was very good to see so many come out for the Pink night at Seasons 52 sponsored by My Hope Chest. They greatly appreciate all our support and we were the life of the party that night. See you at the Lightning game!

Blanket Tampa Bay is a 501(c)3 organization that provides blankets and basic needs for everyday living to the homeless and working poor in the Tampa Bay area. The organization was founded in 2014 after Beth Ross and her husband, Ray, wanted to collect blankets for a Christmas Eve donation to attendees at Trinity Cafe, a Tampa not-for-profit that serves meals to the homeless. Blanket Tampa Bay now operates on a year-round basis and has already provided to more than 1,000 individuals in need. During the spring and summer, the organization distributes rain gear, including ponchos, umbrellas, socks and hygiene products. In the fall and winter months, it also gives out blankets, hats and gloves. Learn More

The Tampa Urban Rest Stop (URS). A stand-alone place where the homeless can go take a shower, wash their clothes and store some belongings for a short time.    By providing access to essential hygiene services, the URS improves the self-sufficiency of homeless individuals and families. The Rest Stop is the only hygiene facility with extended service hours which are specifically designed to assist homeless persons who are working or need to get to a job interview. A homeless job applicant cannot be successful during a job interview without the self-confidence that a shower and clean clothes can provide. A homeless individual cannot maintain steady employment or hope for advancement without access to showers and laundry facilities. Learn More
