This is not a story about what could have been done better, but what is being done right. And you can find what’s being done right by looking to local businesses.

The support, and love, that lives in the Tampa Bay community is overwhelming. We are blessed to live in a community where people truly want to help, and support, one another. And we at TBBW LOVE to hear, and share, these stories. Keep sharing, keep caring. The feedback from the region has been nothing short of amazing! People are reading and ingesting, the positive news: with a sigh of relief.

We are in this together!

We will continue to bring you these “round-ups” of what is being done right here in Tampa Bay!
