YOUR WEEKLY FOOD DONATIONS

Your loving weekly food basket donation goes to the St. Petersburg Free Clinic
Food Bank. The Food Bank distributes this food to over 50 partner agencies
throughout the community. Among them are Free Clinic’s We Help Services,
Women’s Residence and Beacon House.

St Thomas has donated 184 pounds of food so far in just March of this year! Way
to go! The on going need is great and your continued support is blessed. Staples
