IT WAS AN EXTRA GOOD MORNING IN TAMPA BAY, THANKS TO GOOD MORNING AMERICA! Wow, just wow! We were honored and grateful to be a part of Good Morning America's #FloridaStrong campaign, along with other nonprofits doing amazing work, for our relief efforts following the back-to-back devastating hurricanes.

As the storm approaches our area, we are praying for your safety. May you find comfort in these words: Holy God, In the aftermath of #HurricaneHelene and in preparation for #HurricaneMilton, we come to You. We stand humbled by the devastation and anxious about the possibility of more destruction. Remind us, Lord, that even in our darkest hours, You are with us. Knit our communities together, weaving bonds of care and compassion. Guide our first responders to those in need, making paths through the wreckage. Illuminate the darkness with Your light, shedding hope on those lost and afraid. Comfort the grieving, offer solace to the isolated, and bring relief to the suffering. Surround families with Your loving arms, easing their heartbreak. As the waters recede, may our spirits not falter. Plant seeds of hope, even in the midst of despair. Remind us that the work of recovery is long, but with Your strength, we can persevere. Grant us the endurance to continue pressing forward, supporting one another. Provide places of rest and refuge for the weary. For those in safer regions, open your hearts and hands. Share your resources—water, energy, compassion, and hope. Offer shelter and support to those in need. May we awaken each day to the miracle of community, remembering that we are not alone. May we be your people of enduring Hope today and in the days to come. Amen.

Alleviating suffering is a core component of our mission every day, especially now following the devastation of Hurricane Helene. What are we doing? Cooking hot meals, preparing bagged lunches and distributing food boxes & hygiene items, while providing crisis navigation services at pop-up locations in the hardest hit areas. Part of our model of care is going out to the need with boots on the ground staff and volunteers. There is hope after Helene.
