Our Volunteer Wish List 2020 | Tampa Bay Mom & Family Support
As a 501c3 non profit we are only as strong as our community support! Outside of direct donations we depend on folks sharing their time and talents as volunteers. We are so grateful to have had so many special hands and hearts at work since 2015 making The Roots community what it is today. Every year we celebrate our volunteers with our annual Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast and this year it was made even more special by our generous host graciously offering their brand new space at New World Brewery.
Below you will find our wish list of volunteers for 2020! Please share with any friends or colleagues who you think may be a good fit. We are also always happy to offer confirmed community service hours to young people seeking hours for school or special programs.
If there is something you are interested in helping with that you don’t see listed here just get in touch! We’d love to have you as part of the fam!
