Tampa Bay holiday donations

It’s been a hard year for many. And here at TBAYtoday, we believe in supporting our community, neighbors, and friends.

We’ve compiled a list of places you can donate to make sure every family has something special to look forward to.

  • Much of Southwest Florida is still reeling from Hurricane Ian. Metropolitan Ministries and partners are delivering turkey (or hams), non-perishable holiday treats, and giftcards to purchase gifts. Donate online, or visit the site to purchase a turkey, ham, or a gift for a child.
  • United Way Suncoast is collecting toys for local children in need. Browse the Amazon wishlist here.
  • This Sunday, stop by the St. Pete Fools Bike & Toy Drive from 12-5 p.m.
  • For eight days, you can drop off toys in the WestShore Plaza parking lot for the Children’s Home Orlando’s 11th Annual Holiday Toy Drive
