Bearbottom's Commitment to Hurricane Relief: Partnering with Feeding Tampa Bay and Supporting Local Schools

TAMPA, Fla. - October 25, 2024 - Bearbottom [https://bearbottomclothing.com/], a leading menswear brand founded by Tampa Bay native Robert Felder, is taking action to help those affected by hurricanes Helene and Milton, which severely impacted the Tampa Bay area. As a brand rooted in this community, Bearbottom is committed to supporting the recovery efforts of both its customers and neighbors.

"Our community was one of so many devastated by the hurricanes," says Felder. "Our team has countless friends and family who have lost so much. We are dedicated to doing everything we can to help those in need while continuing to serve our customers with the quality they expect from us."

In the aftermath of these devastating storms, Bearbottom launched two major initiatives to provide immediate relief and recovery support. The first is a partnership with Feeding Tampa Bay to deliver meals to first responders and members of the Tampa Bay community impacted by the hurricanes, and the second is a mass clothing donation to the neighborhood of De Soto Elementary School - one of the areas hit hardest by this season's storms.

Partnership with Feeding Tampa Bay

Bearbottom has partnered with Feeding Tampa Bay to provide 50,000 meals to those impacted by the hurricanes. Every day, Feeding Tampa Bay's operations provide about 386,000 meals out to the community. Their storm response includes significant contributions to support local communities:

*
They supported neighbors with 4,127,751 meals at 121 direct distributions across the most affected areas.

*
Averaging 440,953 average meals daily

*
Deployed their new kitchen and delivered 30,966 hot, fresh meals.

*
Implemented 121 direct distributions across our most impacted areas.

Clothing Donations to De Soto Elementary

The neighborhood surrounding De Soto Elementary experienced immense loss after Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida. In response, Bearbottom donated much-needed clothing for 500 people to support families affected by the storm and alleviate their immediate needs as the region recovers.

Bearbottom continues to seek additional ways to aid in the recovery and stands with its community during these difficult times. For more information on Bearbottom's initiatives visit this link [https://bearbottomclothing.com/pages/hurricane-response-efforts].
