"None of our charities stopped helping their community during the pandemic", said Clemence Chevrot, Community Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization and Director of the Tampa Bay Charity Coalition.

It could be seen again with Save our Seniors providing help to seniors during the pandemic and the Tampa Bay Mask Project  sewing face masks for foster youth, veterans and essential workers. Dozens of other charities have gone above and beyond their usual activities to support their communities.
