					<description><![CDATA[These days, when someone comes to the St. Petersburg Free Clinic looking for food, it’s not certain that they’ll get anything. The food pantry, which fed about 4,000 people last month, has bare shelves and is struggling to get staples – things like peanut butter, canned vegetables, canned soup, beans and pasta. “We tend to hit these slumps [in giving],” said Beth Houghton, the Free Clinic’s executive director. “This is one of the worst I’ve ever seen.” The slow-down in&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The St. Petersburg Free Clinic has received a $20,000 grant from Clearwater-based Senior Citizens Services to expand its Hearty Homes program, which provides food to senior citizens in south and mid-Pinellas County. The grant will double the Free Clinic’s ability to provide nutritious food to senior citizens. The Free Clinic expects to provide food assistance to more than 200 senior citizens. “Unfortunately, many seniors are forced to choose which essential item — medication, housing, utilities or food — doesn’t fit in this month’s budget. Often, food is sacrificed to pay for&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bonnie Hechtkopf has searched for a way to honor her husband, Jared, ever since he died 15 years ago. She thinks she’s found it. Hechtkopf donated enough money to the St. Petersburg Free Clinic to buy a warehouse, rehab and renovate it to be used as a food bank that will provide food to more than 60,000 hungry people each month. It will be named the Jared S. Hechtkopf Community Food Bank. “This is perfect,” Hechtkopf said. “I wanted something&#8230;]]></description>

Doors to a brand-new 50-resident living facility open later this month near downtown St. Petersburg, at 814 4th Avenue North. Leaders and key donors from the St. Pete Free Clinic celebrated the building&#8217;s completion Thursday night with a ribbon cutting and reception.
