The pandemic has caused financial difficulties for many people around the bay area, but the St. Petersburg Free Clinic that offers resources to help individuals and families who are struggling.

The Free Clinic’s FRESH Pantry went from serving approximately 6,500 individuals per month (before the pandemic) to serving on average 20,000 individuals per month.

St. Petersburg Free Clinic's programs address social determinants of health and promote health equity by providing nutritious food for those who need it, increasing access to healthcare and health education and increasing access to housing for those in recovery and experiencing housing insecurity.

Roxanne Wilder spoke with CEO of St. Petersburg Free Clinic, Jennifer Yeagley on a recent edition of The Current.
