American Integrity Insurance announced a $100,000 donation to Metropolitan Ministries, during its Gratitude Gathering event on Friday.

The donation will sponsor 1,000 collection barrels, across the region, gathering essential food and toys for Metropolitan Ministries’ Holiday Tent initiative, which helps families facing hardship. The funds will also support expanded services to meet the community’s growing needs during Metro’s season of giving.

“With the help of gracious donations like this, we are able to significantly expand our reach in the communities we serve, helping people put food on the table and have hope for the holidays,” said Tim Marks, president and chief executive officer of Metropolitan Ministries. “This makes all the difference for struggling families.”

The Gratitude Gathering occurred at The Westshore Grand, located in Tampa’s Urban Centre. Attendees celebrated the impact of charitable giving and community collaboration.
