Recognizing the need to address homelessness in the community, the St Petersburg Downtown Partnership convened a “leadership lunch” Wednesday at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital to explore innovative solutions for supporting St. Petersburg’s unhoused population.

“We are currently looking at 1 in 6 children living in homes that are considered food insecure, and that data holds true for Pinellas County as well,” said Sky Beard, Florida Director of No Kid Hungry.

One of the best things about living in the Burg is that St. Pete always take care of St. Pete. It’s a community of support, giving, and togetherness that keeps the city special.
