CareFest 2016: When the people in our community will give back in a big way

People in our community give back. It's just what they do. It's how they're put together. Helping people is just part and parcel of who they are. It's ingrained in every fiber of their being. So it's no wonder that folks from our Broadwater community are among people, companies, and churches all over the Tampa Bay area who are planning to join CareFest again this year. This is probably the sixth or seventh year, and it's always so rewarding because so many people get help.

Volunteers help fix up houses for people who can't do it themselves. They deliver food and clothing and in general make things better for the less fortunate in our community. The big day is Saturday, September 24, and the local folks are gathering at Lake Vista Park, though people are meeting for this event all over Tampa Bay. You can get all the information you need from the poster above.

CareFest started as an effort of Clearwater author and speaker Daniel Bernard, who founded a group called Somebody Cares Tampa Bay, an organization designed to spur residents and businesses to give for the good of the community. Here's an interesting article about him.
