Free treats for first responders
Hello Sweetness in Tampa is offering free treats to first responders who helped the community during Helene and Milton.
TAMPA, Fla. - A local business is giving back to the community after Hurricane Milton.
Located in North Tampa, Hello Sweetness is giving first responders a free treat.
Owner Nasser Ali said he wanted to give back to first responders, because they helped so much after Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
"For us to have the ability to give back to people who gave to our business and made us who we are today, why not," shared Ali.
Hello Sweetness offers a variety of desserts such as waffles, bubble waffles, crêpes, and gelato. You can even design your own dessert by including options like peanut butter crunch, strawberries and cream, and brownie paradise.
Ali said whether it's a TECO lineman, the fire department, local police, or anyone helping with recovery from the hurricane, you can come in for a free sweet treat.

He also urges anyone in the community to come in if they need ice, power, or Wi-Fi. He just wants to help storm victims get back to whatever it is they call normal.
Ali said without the community his business wouldn't be around.
"We're a small business, we depend on them every single day and, for that reason, we want to give back as much as we can," he explained.
