My name is Kella McCaskill of The Center For Economic Development.
I just launched a Good Neighbor Award program within East Tampa. Too often were known as the area with high crime, poverty etc.
There are a lot good things happening in this area as well.
If you have a business or service that would like to donate a service, a gift card . I would love to connect.
This award with your gift will be presented at city council each quarter as we recognize these leaders.

I’m also using this approach to highlight the businesses that support the community in the area.
Please consider and let me know if you want to participate.
I will only need your logo and your offered gift.

Let’s lead this community with serving!!!!
