Impact
Five ways to give back and get involved in St. Pete
If you’re searching for a way to give back, the Catalyst’s Impact Connector is here to help. Each week, we feature five organizations in the Tampa Bay area that need your input, whether that’s time, talent, items, funding or simply awareness. We’re certain you’ll find something here that matches your interests and will positively impact the community.
Fill a basket of love! 
Lutheran Services Florida (LSF) is holding a spring donation drive to support families in crisis and children entering foster care. The “Basket of Love” initiative provides essential supplies to help keep children safely at home or ease their transition into care.
LSF is especially in need of diapers, wipes, pack n’ plays, car seats, bottles, formula and financial contributions.
Donated items will go directly to families served by LSF programs. The effort is part of the organization’s broader work to strengthen families and reduce the need for foster placements.
Donations can be made online or dropped off at designated sites.
