Homecoming
Campaign |
|
Sponsoring Group: |
Reaching Tampa |
|
Description: |
Currently there are
5,000 children in foster care in Hillsborough County alone, with 800
"aging out" every year in Florida. The Foster Care
Homecoming Campaign was created with the purpose of reaching out to high school girls who are currently
in the foster care system. On the day of their homecoming,
these girls will have the opportunity to come to one of three
designated locations and receive a homecoming dress, shoes, a hair appointment, nail appointment,
a ticket to their dance, a picture, and a
small goody bag full of essentials for their special night.
If you are a high
school girl currently in foster care and you are interested in
participating be sure to click
here to schedule your
appointment.
If you are
a business or individual and are you interested in donating dresses
or other essential items please review the
donation page and contact
Courtney Greer for more details. |

Shooting for Grace
is newly started unique ministry aimed at building relationships and
making disciples. Making disciples is an often overlooked command
from the Bible that requires time and dedication. Reaching Tampa has
created a ministry with the purpose of spending quality time with
new believers.
One Saturday a
month participants will spend the day with a new believer and shoot
some clays along the way. Our prayer is that these Christians will
strengthen their relationship with the Lord and meet fellow
believers at the same time.

Description: |
The Port of Tampa
is Florida's largest port and
handles approximately 50 millions tons of cargo per year. Ships come
from all over the world and when they reach our port they are here
anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of months. The
crew is always looking for a change of scenery and the Tampa
Seafarers Center provides a warm relaxing environment where they can
call loved ones, browse the internet, or just hang out.
Groups adopting
this ministry will build relationships with the seafarers that come
in to the center as well as drive them to local stores for needed
essentials. |

Facility is an amazing place with some amazing residents. Volunteers
adopting this project can split up into 2 different groups that
would come on different days. One group will be responsible for
running a game night on Tuesdays and the other group will help run a
small chapel service on Sunday afternoon. The chapel service and the
game night are already in existence, but they would both benefit
from some kind and caring volunteers. |
