ALEXIA MORRISON

President

Alexia founded Reach St.Pete in 2016 as a passion project. In November of 2019 she left her career to pursue leading Reach St.Pete full time after matching with the first seed funder. Since her transition in 2019 she has led the team to reach over 15,000 individuals and families and prevented over 700+ families/individuals from going homeless in Pinellas County. Additionally she has helped secure over $1.2 million for the community.

Her heart behind Reach St.Pete is at the very minimum to show up for people. A part of her personal testimony is when she was a teenager she herself experienced homelessness and low-income situations. During that time the community showed up for her and now she wants to do the same for others.

Alexia has been nominated for Tampa Bay Business Journal Business Woman Of The Year, Nominee for Forbes 30 Under 30 Social Impact, Nominee for Best of The Bay Nonprofit, and Nominee for Best of The Bay Local Activist.
