November 30, 2022
A Miami organization that helps people experiencing homelessness get back on their feet says it will be able to provide housing and social services for hundreds more families in the coming years after receiving a massive cash gift from one of the world’s richest men.
“We’re here because I got an email at 1 a.m. this morning from Jeff Bezos,” Peter Pruitt, president and CEO of Chapman Partnership, said at a Tuesday morning press conference announcing the $5 million gift.
