Approximately 130 staff at Home Helpers Home Care agencies in the Tampa Bay area were able to fuel up, compliments of their employers as part of their Appreciation Miles Project. On July 8, 2022, four Home Helpers agencies from the Tampa Bay Area held a “Gas Party” to help their staff “fuel up” amid the current gas prices. The Gas Party was held in coordination with four local gas stations that supported the event by providing free soft drinks for the healthcare workers. Home Helpers staff from across the Tampa Bay area simply pulled up to one of four participating gas stations. The Home Helpers franchisees pumped $30 of gas for each of them to celebrate them and show appreciation for everything they do. The following is a statement from the four Home Helpers franchisees involved in the effort: “The message we wanted to send to our employees was simple: ‘We appreciate you.’ What started as a simple idea turned into something much more than we could have ever imagined. The Gas Party event was very successful, bringing many smiles and happy tears. It also allowed us to connect more with our staff and them to connect with each other. We highly recommend that other employers follow this trend. A special thank you goes out to all participating gas stations that supported this effort. Without them, the Gas Party would not have been possible.” The participating Home Helpers locations in the Gas Party were Home Helpers of Bradenton, Home Helpers of Clearwater, Home Helpers of Tampa Bay, and Home Helpers of West Saint Petersburg.
