This contribution directly supports Metropolitan Ministries’ Holiday Central initiative, which provides meals, essential resources, and hope to families throughout November and December—a time of year when the need across our region is especially great. Through partnerships like these, Metropolitan Ministries expects to serve tens of thousands of families, ensuring that no household goes without support during the holiday season.

Our firm’s commitment to giving back is woven into who we are, and we are honored to stand alongside organizations like Metropolitan Ministries, Vinik Sports Group, and the Lightning Foundation to strengthen the communities where we live and work.

Benchmark International remains dedicated to supporting initiatives that create real, lasting change. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Metropolitan Ministries’ mission and to help uplift families across Tampa Bay.
