You gave so much more than a backpack.Haircuts, face painting and books were available free for children. With your help, we served children and their families from across the Tampa Bay region.

With support from our caring community, we were able to accomplish the following:

• 3,641 – children served on the MM campus
• 1,391 – children served at an MM partner site (Pasco, Pinellas, Brandon)
• 352 – rain checks issued (expected to serve these additional children next week)
• 5,384 – total children served…if all “rain checks” are honored

God bless you.

 Meet the "Shoe-Giver"  

August 18th - Meet Jacob Rice, a young man on fire with a passion for helping those in need.
He has devoted all his free time to reaching out to the disenfranchised and  disempowered people of 
Hillsborough County. 

Jacob is selfless, compassionate and a giver, specifically a “Shoe Giver”. Getting donations from major shoe
manufactures such as Nike, Adidas, Converse, Sketchers, and Thom McCann, utilizes his negotiation skills and talents.  He’s has provided 278 pairs of new shoes to families living at the Metropolitan Ministries.

 Dress shoes, casual shoes, athletic shoes, shoes of all kinds, shoes for children.
Jacob is the embodiment and personification of Compassion + Action. At 14 years of age,
he has managed a lifetime of giving and we appreciate his efforts and dedication to fulfilling our mission.
