The donation will provide Tampa’s vulnerable population with a place to shelter and sleep well.

Thanks to Catholic Charities and our generous community partners, 100 homeless individuals will have a place to sleep at night, a place to shower, and a place to hunker down—protecting them and the rest of our community from the spread of COVID-19. I believe everyone deserves a safe place to stay during these uncertain times, and the sooner we start taking care of each other, the sooner we can get through this together.”
