SPFC adds three FRESH neighborhood stores

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. Rajax Meat Market at 2327 Dr. Martin L. King Jr. Street S. was the first store certified in October 2023. Since then, three additional stores have become FRESH Pace certified: Lakeview Market, Yara Food Mart and Wildwood Meat Market.
