GROUPS CELEBRATE HOMELESS LIVES MATTER, TOO
A group of citizens called “Base Camp,” consisting of representatives from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, Tampa Police Department, and Tampa Housing Authority, came together recently to make the holiday season bright for the homeless population. Patricia Wingo, Outreach Coordinator/Case Manager for the Tampa Housing Authority, said this is the 3rd year for the event that was the original idea of Margaret Jones, Director of Assisted Housing Section 8 for the Hous- ing Authority. Among those who participated in the event on the corner of Columbus Dr. and Tampa St. was the East Tampa Business and Civic Association, who distributed toiletries and fresh fruits and vegetables. Stationed at the ETBCA table were: Officer Greg Stevanus, Debra Ragan, Rosalyn Roker, Lawrence Dixon and Rose Dixon. (Photograph by BRUNSON)
