Those families have been identified in the areas of Ridgecrest, Highpoint, Lealman, St. Petersburg, and other areas throughout Pinellas County.

Each meal includes a fully cooked ham, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, navy beans, sliced pineapple, peanut butter and grape jelly, or macaroni and cheese, a loaf of white bread, jellybeans, apple juice, and iced tea.
