TAMPA, Fla. — At every home game, The Tampa Bay Lightning honor a local person or nonprofit working to impact our community.
Stephanie Haile was named the Lightning Community Hero during the game on October 17.
Haile is the founder of New Life Warehouse. The all-volunteer nonprofit provides furniture, appliances, home furnishings,
and more to families transitioning out of homelessness.
New Life Warehouse has already helped more than 2200 families.
As the Lightning Community Hero, Haile and New Life Warehouse received a $50,000 donation from the Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Hero program, presented by Jabil.
A Hardee County grandmother is on trial this week for leaving her 7-month-old granddaughter in a hot car where the baby died —the second grandchild to die under Tracey Nix's care. ABC Action News I-Team Reporter Kylie McGivern sat down with Kaila Nix just days ahead of her mother's trial for aggravated manslaughter.
