The City of St. Petersburg, in partnership with St. Pete Free Clinic (SPFC), has launched a new program called the FRESH Pace Healthy Neighborhood Store Program to help set the pace for good health throughout the city.

Smith & Associates Real Estate Foundation announced that it has awarded more than $143,000 in grant funding to 18 nonprofit organizations in the Tampa Bay area.

Mike Jaber knows just about everyone who walks into his store. It’s part of the reason St. Pete Free Clinic and city leaders chose Rajax Food Mart and Meat Market as the first FRESH Pace Healthy Neighborhood Store.
