Metropolitan Ministries

Let's continue the Harbor Links and Estates Luminary tradition of lighting up the neighborhood and helping those in need.

Colin and Sophia Maloney are organizing this school service project as a way to bring Holiday cheer and help those in need.

100% of donations will be given to Metropolitan Ministries.

From December 24rd to December 26th, our Harbor Links and Estates neighborhoods will be illuminated with 1200 beautiful luminaries!

Luminaries will be assembled, placed along the neighborhood streets, and cleaned up after a few days.

During this season of giving, let's help those in need.

Please consider making a donation. Thank you for your support.

Metropolitan Ministries

We care for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless in our community through services that alleviate suffering, promote dignity and instill self-sufficiency… as an expression of the ongoing ministry of Jesus Christ.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.

As the Stroll was founded upon sharing joy and giving, I hope you will join me in donating to Metropolitan Ministries once again. And the most exciting news is your donation will be triple matched beginning December 2nd and running for 2 weeks.

Wowww…

Your presence and gift to Metropolitan Ministries is all that is needed and so very appreciated.

Hi, I’m Ray Kelly, and I live at the Ritz Residences on Bayshore Blvd in Tampa. For the past couple of years our generous neighbors have come together to support the vital work of Metropolitan Ministries, an incredible organization dedicated to caring for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless in our community. Their mission is to alleviate suffering, promote dignity, and instill self-sufficiency as an expression of the ongoing ministry of Jesus Christ. With your generous donations, Metropolitan Ministries can continue their vital work.

Here are just a couple of ways your support makes an impact:

* Providing essential meals and shelter to those in need.

* Offering job training and support services to help individuals regain their independence.

Together, we can help transform lives and uplift our community. Please consider donating today and be a part of this important mission!

We are a group of USF students passionate about giving back to our community. For our project, Stampede to Feed, we’re partnering with Metropolitan Ministries to help fight hunger in the Tampa Bay area. From October 1 to November 30, we’ll be hosting food drives, sharing Amazon wishlists, and raising funds to support families in need especially in neighborhoods like Ybor City, Belmont Heights, and Carver City.

Hunger is a real issue affecting so many people around us, and we want to do our part to help. All donations raised through this GoFundMe will go directly to Metropolitan Ministries to help provide meals, groceries, and support services to local families.

Our goal is to collect enough food and funds to feed at least four families for a full week. With your help, we can do even more.

Every donation makes a difference. Thankyou for supporting our cause!

Willy has been a strong supporter of Metropolitan Ministries and their mission. It is an amazing organization that has a HUGE impact on the community. We are asking our friends to donate to Metropolitan Ministries, if they feel so moved, instead of a birthday present.

Hello, my name is Kaiden Dang, and I am working with my partner, Devin, to raise funds for the charity called "Metropolitan Ministries". We were inspired to do this because of our school's Community Project.

We chose Metro Min because they help people who are struggling financially by giving them a temporary shelter, food, and everything they need to recuperate and become successful again. I have been volunteering at Metropolitan Ministries for 4 years, and I aways love to help out in the kitchen, serving food, and washing the dishes. I care about this cause because I believe that helping your family is necessary, but once you are well set, helping others do the same is of upmost importance, because helping others who cannot help themselves is the greatest cause ever known to man. All of the funds raised will go to Metropolitan Ministries.

As Ritz residents, please consider joining together to help families recover from the devastation left by historic back to back hurricanes. Metropolitan Ministries continues to excel at what they have done for 52 years: alleviate suffering, promote dignity and instill self-sufficiency for at-risk and homeless families. Their work is magnified due to these storms. Thank you for helping Metro give HOPE to families who lost everything throughout our region in Pasco, Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.

Leadership Tampa's Class of 2022 is helping Metropolitan Ministries refresh 48 residential rooms that are in dire need of an update, including new linens and decor.

Metropolitan Ministries has seen a tremendous increase in the number of families seeking shelter because of the affordable housing crisis. Rooms have had a much higher usage rate since the start of the pandemic, creating more wear and tear on facilities.

Help LT '22 reach the goal of outfitting 48 rooms! Please show your support with a donation!
