WHO WE ARE
An Organization of Excellence - One Community, One Cause, One Destiny
ABOUT US
Delve Into Our Origin Story
We are a Florida 501(c)(3) non-profit organization of locally engaged citizens committed to supporting the Tampa Bay community through volunteering and charitable activities. Our service spans over 20 years, starting in 2005 with Guyanese migrant families. At the heart of our organization still lies their determination to improve the quality of life for Guyanese and Guyanese-Americans both at home and abroad.
In addition, as part of our mission to promote cross-cultural awareness and unity between American and Guyanese communities, our organization provides educational opportunities, aid during hardships and emergencies, and support to new Guyanese immigrants within Tampa Bay.
We hold our most notable event, Taste of Guyana, every year, to celebrate Guyanese culture and traditions. Moreover, we use a portion of our proceeds to support the Tampa Bay Paint Your Heart Out Program, homeless pregnant women and their babies through Alpha House, and provide monetary donations for college-bound high school graduates.
Our Core Values

We recognize the powerful impact of collaboration. By working together, fostering open communication, deepening understanding, and creating supportive environments, we have accomplished far more than we could have on our own.
Heart & Drive
We excel when driven by a strong sense of purpose and a passion for making the world better. Even in challenging moments, we can discover love and joy in unexpected places, recognizing the vital role that passionate service plays in our efforts.
Equity & Inclusion
Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. We believe our organization and community are stronger when we create opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
Health is Wealth
We aim to create safe spaces that support the social, emotional, and physical well-being of our members, participants, and their families, while also working to make our community a more inclusive place for everyone.
