SPFC is expanding access to nutritious food with the opening of the Lealman FRESH Pantry, a new market-style food pantry serving neighbors in Lealman and throughout Pinellas County.
Recently featured on FOX 13 Tampa Bay, the new pantry offers fresh produce, meat, dairy, eggs and other groceries in a welcoming environment where neighbors can select the foods that best meet their families’ needs and preferences.
The expansion brings this resource closer to a community where more than 2,000 residents had been traveling to St. Petersburg each month for food assistance. By bringing SPFC’s choice-based pantry model directly to Lealman, we’re helping remove barriers to food access while preserving something equally important: dignity and choice.
