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 196 pounds of food in April! Way to go! The on going
need is great and your continued support is blessed. Staples such as cereals,
juice, peanut butter, and canned meats are always needed. Never will
“buy one and get one free” at the grocer go farther.

Thank you from,
Outreach
