Grocery distribution in South St. Pete

St. Pete Free Clinic (SPFC) is a non-profit organization that provides a robust roster of community services, including healthy food, housing and free and reduced-cost healthcare services. According to Jennifer Yeagley, CEO of SPFC, the organization has witnessed a staggering rise in the number of individuals seeking food assistance – it’s now serving over 40,000 people monthly, compared to 20,000 pre-pandemic. 

Volunteers are needed to help make this sharp increase in families served possible. Helpers are needed at the We Help FRESH Pantry Indoor Choice location to ensure those visiting the pantry are greeted with a smile, routed quickly through the intake process and have fresh produce, meats, dairy and food staples organized and ready to be taken home. Volunteers are also needed to help sort and pack items that go home to the families in the FRESH Sprouts Program.

Most volunteer opportunities occur between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Individuals aged 16 and older are welcome, and those under 15 can volunteer with an adult. To learn more and sign up, visit www.thespfc.org/volunteer.
