OUTREACH TEAM

In recent years, the Unity of St. Petersburg Outreach Team has spearheaded projects in our own neighborhood to other continents across the world—from providing teddy bears for the police department for comforting children in traumatic situations to providing $2,000 worth of medicine and vitamins for pregnant women and children through a clinic in Nicaragua. Other local projects include providing hygiene items to the St. Petersburg Free Clinic, supporting a room in the family unit at the Homeless Service, monthly donations to the CASA shelter for abused women and their children, providing school supplies for the children at Fairmount and Westgate Elementary schools, and every Christmas sponsoring a family.

Other international projects  have included providing cleft lip operations through "The Smile Train,"  providing 2,208 children with vitamin A for one year to prevent blindness through "Helen Keller Int," providing 142 mosquito nets for children in Africa through "Malaria No More," and providing 1,018 vaccinations for children in 3rd world countries through "Project Hope."

Our "Soles for Souls" shoe drive provided more than 300 pairs of shoes for the Salvation Army Shelter, ASAP Homeless Services and the CASA Shelter.
