A once-homeless Tampa Bay family has a home for the holidays.

Now they need your help furnishing it.

No, they’re not asking for anything extravagant, but the family — a single mother of four boys — has few material things.

“The good news is that they are coming out of homelessness and creating a home. With this good news comes an opportunity to help. The family is starting over and needs most anything and everything to help furnish and make a home,” Gulfport Neighbors’ President Margarete Tober wrote in an email Monday evening.

The mom and her sons — ages 3-12 — need basic supplies for the bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen. This includes things like dishes, pots and pans, towels, sheets and cleaning supplies.

On Friday, Dec. 7, Gulfport Community Officer Zach Mills and Gulfport Elementary School Resource Officer Mike Sigsbee will be at Gulfport City Hall (2401 53rd St. S., Gulfport) to accept donations from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Here’s the list of needs, as provided by the Gulfport Elementary School social worker. It looks like they have a dog, too — one of the wish list items includes dog food.

Here’s what they need

couch/loveseat

coffee table

lamps

area rug/runner

TV, if possible (living room, mom, kids)

TV table

welcome mat (2)

dog food
