Help raise money for your favorite charity or please consider one of our non-profit members from the list below:ECHOECHO provides emergency hunger and clothing relief, job search assistance and educational programs to our neighbors in the Brandon and south county area. In just the past 6 months, ECHO has served 1,042 individuals from Riverview and Gibsonton, over half of whom are children. ECHO’s new Job for Job program provides assistance in updating resumes, preparing for job interviews and job search techniques. Free educational classes such as financial literacy, basic computer skills and GED prep classes are taught to more than 50students every week.
ECHO serves tradesmen out of work who have never asked for assistance; single mothers suddenly making the choice between car repairs or groceries; and seniors dealing with the financial stress of a devastating illness. Your financial support will help bridge the gap between crisis and stability. ECHO has a wonderful team of weekly and special event volunteers available to serve at fundraising events.
Mary & Martha HouseProvides emergency and transitional housing and support services to homeless women, victims of domestic violence and their dependent children so that they will secure employment and permanent housing.
The Agency developed a comprehensive employment training program: Employment Readiness for Victims of Domestic Violence (ER). Finding and keeping a job is extremely difficult when a woman’s life is continually interrupted by violence. The ER program empowers women to move from shelter to permanent housing with job preparation and placement as the central component. For the period ending April 1, 2016:· 41 families were provided services through our program.· 33 clients gained Full-time employment· 100% were hired at a rate of $10.12 or higher· Job retention is currently at 100%· All clients successfully completing the program are case managed for 6 months
We would be proud to assist and support you in all your fund-raising efforts to be chosen Honorary Mayor of Riverview.

Member Spotlight Did you know that every week ECHO serves an average of 100 families facing a crisis? Often the crisis involves hunger and job loss. How can we eliminate hunger right here in Riverview?
Through educational programs such as GED tutoring, financial literacy and basic computer skill training, ECHO seeks to empower individuals to improve their current situation and transform their future. But getting a good job is vital to solving hunger. ECHO’s Job Fair last year included 27 businesses and resulted in 28 hires. ECHO has computers on-site for online applications as well as job coaches to assist applicants with resume updates and interview tips.
Greater Riverview Chamber members are invited to participate in ECHO’s Job Fair - Thursday, April 21 Contact us at 813-685-0935, www.echofl.org, or [email protected] ~Reserve your space ~ Change lives~

Thank you US HWY 301 Median SupportersThe Greater Riverview Chamber of Commerce (GRCC) is proud to announce that the medians along US Hwy 301 between Progress Blvd/Bloomingdale Ave and Gibsonton Dr/Boyette Rd are being well cared for and maintained because of local business supporters.
Many years ago and thanks to the community spirit of Riverview, these vegetative medians were used to help beautify our roadway. Because of several dedicated folks, crape myrtle trees were planted along this stretch of the highway.
This year, this project is being revitalized with a new maintenance contract with Natural Design Landscaping and a partnership with Hillsborough County along with 6 generous businesses:
All Family Law GroupDuffey Tree Care
Frostys Air ConditioningKB Home Tampa
Serenity Meadows Memorial ParkThe Mosaic Company
These businesses have committed financially to help keep these medians well maintained over the next year. Each median will have one sign installed recognizing each of these supporters. In early summer, Hillsborough County will be replacing the missing and/or diseased trees.
Be sure to let these great community partners know how much you appreciate their part in keeping Riverview…my town beautiful. If you are interested in becoming a future sponsor of one of these medians, please contact the Greater Riverview Chamber of Commerce; call the office at (813) 234-5944 or email [email protected].
