Volunteer Opportunities for Post-Hurricane Recovery
The South Tampa Chamber has identified the following volunteer opportunities in response to Post-Hurricane recovery.
Help Tampa
The City of Tampa is gathering a list of volunteers interested in supporting our community’s recovery from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. If you're ready to lend a hand and assist in relief efforts, please provide your contact information HERE.
To donate new items, food, or essential supplies please contact 813-274-7997.
Feeding Tampa Bay
Our goal is to make sure our community has the resources needed to start recovery post storm. Since just Hurricane Helene, we have supported neighbors with 1,507,607 meals and have held 56 emergency distribution locations since hurricane impacts hit our area. In order to continue our relief efforts, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Volunteers are strongly needed to help us provide emergency relief efforts to our Tampa Bay community. Please consider signing up for a volunteer shift today, and in the near future, to help our counties recover. To sign up for a volunteer shift, and to help support our community together SIGN UP HERE.
Metropolitan Ministries
Metro is open and operational offering emergency relief services due to the recent devastating hurricanes, offering Hot Meals & Bagged Lunches prepared in our kitchen and sent out to the community. The Family Support Centers open to help with food, hygiene, A/C, phone charging, internet, workspaces for remote workers, emotional support. View a full list of volunteer opportunities HERE.
Meals on Wheels
When you are a Meals On Wheels volunteer, you are delivering much more than a hot meal – you are providing human connection. A typical volunteer route takes about one hour to complete. This one hour affects the lives of so many of our neighbors in need throughout Tampa. Individual and group opportunities available HERE.
