St. Pete Free Clinic (SPFC) is continuing to expand its FRESH Pace Healthy Neighborhood Stores initiative, bringing affordable, nutritious food to areas of the community that lack access to grocery stores.

The initiative, which began as a small-scale produce market during Nutrition Month, evolved into a weekly food pantry when hospital staff realized food insecurity was an ongoing issue.

The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) and St. Pete Free Clinic (SPFC) are giving away fresh food to those who need it.
