For Volunteer Appreciation month we celebrated the heart of our mission— our incredible volunteers across Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties! From serving meals and sorting donations to mentoring youth and supporting outreach, their time, energy, and compassion fuel hope for thousands of families in need. Their selfless dedication helps us carry out our mission every single day—and we couldn’t do it without them. To all our volunteers, THANK YOU for being a vital part of the Metro family and showing that hope does more! #VolunteerAppreciation #ThankYouVolunteers #HopeMakeTime (fb)

🚨 Due to federal budget cuts, our AmeriCorps programs—including the Metro BrigAIDe—are being eliminated this Friday, impacting 30 dedicated members across Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties. Since 2012, AmeriCorps members have been part of our frontline response—providing meals, housing assistance, education support, and life-changing outreach to thousands in need. Programs like the BrigAIDe, nationally recognized for its innovation, will feel this loss deeply. We’re heartbroken for the communities and individuals who rely on these services—but we’re not giving up. We’re committed to continuing the mission.
