This year has thrown some curve balls, and our Blanket Tampa Bay team is working to adopt new ways to deliver our mission of serving the homeless of Tampa Bay. Recently, Julie Salomone of WFTS-ABC Action News
interviewed BTB founders Beth and Ray Ross as they distributed soup, blankets, and blessing bags at a Pasco county gas station. The interview touched on many important parts of what we're doing now and why.Watch the interview here: https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news/everybody-has-a-story-pasco-county-couple-hands-out-bl...
As temperatures dipped into the 30's and 40's, Beth and Ray took to the streets to provide items to the homeless. Before the pandemic, our team was blessed to have many organizations sharing the news about our Monday events at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church in Tampa. Now, we are actively serving the homeless as we can and sharing more information about where to find our volunteers. We continue to collect donated items, such as blankets and items for our blessing bags. To help us with our blessing bags or to make your own, please visit our wish list
or see how one corporate partner got involved.
The Green Committee of Moffitt Cancer Center
was also featured in the interview as they graciously made sleeping bags out of blue surgical material that is both waterproof and windproof, perfect for the cold nights the homeless are facing this winter.
