EVENT CHAIR
WELCOME TO THE 4TH ANNUAL PASCO LEADERSHIP LUNCHEON!
Dear Friends,
What an exciting day to celebrate the many partners who have helped position Metropolitan Ministries for success and bring our vision to life. In these trying times, our goal is to do more and serve more at-risk Pasco families through the redevelopment and expansion of the West Pasco campus in Holiday, Florida.
I am honored to work alongside our partners here today, including state and local government officials, my fellow Pasco Leadership Council members, and the Metropolitan Ministries Board of Directors—all whom have championed our vision and given generously of their time and investment so homeless and at risk families can benefit from affordable housing, trauma informed childcare programs, and the necessary wraparound services to help them on their journey to self-sufficiency.
Thank you for attending today to learn more about our plans and how you can write your own story of impact through your time, talent, and treasure. I appreciate your consideration to support the transformational work of Metropolitan Ministries.
