UT Baseball Helps Furnish Homes for Veterans

TAMPA, Fla. - The University of Tampa baseball team continued its community engagement efforts as it helped furnish homes for Veterans.

Ashley Furniture donated furniture to furnish 40 homes in the Tampa Bay area, which were all belonging to Veterans. Members of the UT baseball team helped assemble the furniture and help move it into the apartments.

"First and foremost, I would like to start by saying thank you to all the men and women that have and are currently putting their lives on the line for this country and its people," says senior Giovanny Alfonzo. "For years, Veterans have sacrificed their lives to ensure that we can live in a country with our daily freedoms, comforts, and opportunities. Saturday was an amazing opportunity to give the veterans a little piece of that back by placing them in fully furnished apartments. Being able to be a part of a project like this is really humbling. We hope that by placing them in furnished apartments we will be providing them with a part of their life that they sacrificed when they left to fight for our country."
