It took me all morning to get enough courage to go ask for help so I can eat before I get paid again. I went to this place just after 12 noon they close at 1 pm. The lady at the front desk refused to try and help except for a small bag of food for a day!!!! Come back on Monday!! I CANT I WORK and DON'T get food stamps but I chose to have a roof over my head for at least another month. I AM SO HUMILIATED for begging for help to get turned down because I wasn't there an hour before they closed. before they closed!!! It's not worth being treated like we are beneath them because we need a handup not hand out!!!!!

This is a wonderful place to go for help in different ways! They will help you find a job and extend education. There is a food pantry for families who need food assistance. There is a thrift store to buy clothing for great prices. If you need help with clothing for interviews they will help you!!

Questions & Answers

We have a nice nearly new electric portable sewing machine that may help someone make a living or teach a young child how to be creative. Would this be of interest in this machine?

Absolutely, just last month we offered sewing classes and are planning to do it again. Thank you for thinking of us.

I I'm not sure if they take that type of stuff but they may but I know lighthouse ministry is a good ministry and so is metropolitan ministries and salvation army I mean they help their people a lot I mean Echo is wonderful lighthouses wonderful you know they do they're very best for you see lighthouse gives out furniture and appliances and stuff but Echo can help you with a lot more things financially I think Echo is one of the most amazing groups of charity organizations that I have been to I don't know what I would have done without them they truly make the world a better place those four organization I know of are great and excellent I also but those are most of the ones that give out appliances and stuff I don't think Echo does but I'm pretty sure the other three do

What if a person is ill and can't leave their house but still need help with food? And what if you have digestive disease and can't just eat anything, like beans or anything that is considered shelled

At this time we do not have a mobile outreach for food. You may want to check out Feeding Tampa Bay's website: https://feedingtampabay.org/mobilepantries If you are able to come in we do offer fresh produce, a variety of foods, meats or poultry and more.

You may seek temporary shelter at Metropolitan ministries. Google Hud; Hud has a program that you may receive a voucher for housing if you qualify. Tampa housing has a similar program called section 8, but the waiting list is years long. I hope this was healpful.
