MacDonald Training Center

Community, coffee, and preparedness ☕🌀

It's always a joy to partner with the community - especially alongside a special friend of MTC, Tampa City Councilman Luis Viera - District 7, and our friends at CUP - Coffee Uniting People ☕

We loved seeing MTC graduates Carlos and Kate (both CUP employees), Robert, another MTC Grad (City of Tampa's Michael Phillips All Abilities Internship), and other MTC participants show up for a great cause on Sunday, July 12, 2026, for CM Viera's Parent/Caregiver Support Group meeting.

Special thanks to founder Greg Jones and the CUP staff for hosting us once again - your space and your team make these gatherings feel like home.

We're also so grateful to Riley Tuff, Lead Emergency Planner, and Raquel Pancho, ADA Coordinator, both from the City of Tampa, who shared the City of Tampa Hurricane Preparedness Guide and walked families through:
🌀 Preparing Before the Storm
📡 Staying Informed
🏠 After the Storm..plus specific considerations for people with disabilities.
Thank you to everyone who came out to learn, connect, and prepare together.
