Metropolitan Ministries volunteers provide food for Tampa Bay area families in need during the COVID-19 pandemic. The DeBartolo Family Foundation helped Metropolitan Ministries exceed its goal during their first virtual food drive, Feed The Bay, which provided families affected by COVID-19 food and financial aid.
The DeBartolo family considers their pets members of their families, and because of their personal love for animals, in 2018, they supported the construction of a new state-of-the-art animal shelter for the Humane Society in Tampa, FL. The multi-story building, named The DeBartolo Family Animal Shelter, opened in September 2020.
