Congratulations to the Healthy St. Pete team on the launch of their PeliCAN program. This program will bring fresh, affordable produce to St. Pete residents right in their neighborhoods and was made possible in part by a $250,000 Healthy People grant from the and Hospital.

Beginning in December, four PeliCAN vendors will begin selling fresh produce from their Fresh Start Mobile Markets. This innovative program is tackling barriers to healthy food access and building healthier, stronger neighborhoods—one produce cart at a time!
