Last week, Kyle Burd with Cousins Properties and Abby Hope, Events & Marketing for the ReliaQuest Bowl, and a Meals On Wheels of Tampa Ambassador, came to present our organization with a check. THANK YOU ReliaQuest Bowl! Your generosity through the years has provided over 8,000 meals to our senior and homebound neighbors ❤
