About this Event
This Thanksgiving season, let’s turn gratitude into generosity.
Join Networking Leads for Together for Tampa Bay, a Friendsgiving gathering at Leads Coffeehouse bringing neighbors and friends together to give back to the community we call home.
As our Thanksgiving food drive comes to a close, we’re gathering to contribute our final food donations, make new connections, and celebrate the generosity of everyone who helped along the way. Our drive supports Feeding Tampa Bayand its work to help neighbors facing hunger.
We’re honored to welcome Zach Elliott, who will share “Finding Gratitude in the In-Between,” a reflection on finding hope and gratitude in seasons that feel uncertain or unfinished. His message will offer a moment to pause, reflect, and recognize the good even as we wait for what’s next. Learn more about Zach and his background in his speaker bio below.
Bring your nonperishable food donations and a friend! Whether you’re part of Networking Leads Ministry or simply looking for a meaningful way to connect and serve, you’re welcome here.
