Metropolitan Ministries in Tampa needs our help. The food pantry is critically low on peanut butter, cake mixes, baby items, canned fruit and personal hygiene products, especially deodorant, soap, small bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. Please take your donations to the Metro Ministries Thrift Store at 2101 North Florida Avenue, Tampa, 33602. You can also make a donation on line at http://www.metromin.org.

There’s also a critical need for gasoline vouchers, so that clients don’t have to get rid of their cars and can keep their jobs. Consider organizing a drive at your workplace to fund gas vouchers. Contact Ana Mendez at 813-209-1264.
