Dental health – or a lack thereof – has an impact on overall health. In order to support the full health of the community members it serves, the St. Pete Free Clinic opened a dental care program in 2011.

Bank of America announced Wednesday that the University Area Community Development Corp. and St. Pete Free Clinic have been named as 2022 Bank of America Neighborhood Builders awardees for their work in the community to remove economic barriers and advance economic opportunity.

As many nonprofits around the country report stagnant or declining donations, local charity organizations are turning to unique events and creative initiatives in a bid to drive support, keep donors engaged and capture a younger audience.
