And as we continue to grow and expand into America’s most effective caregiver, we need talented and compassionate people who feel called to assist us in our mission. Since 1972, Metropolitan Ministries has been providing life-changing solutions for those who are homeless and at risk of becoming homeless in Tampa Bay. Through innovative leadership, a dedicated staff, and the utilization of a variety of community partners, we’ve grown from a single-room food pantry to serving thousands of people a day in 4 different counties.
