Helping the hungry 🍈

Plums, peaches, lychees, starfruit, bananas and blueberries are just a few of the things available to a Tampa Bay community through a free food forest. 

More than 30 different options were all planted by volunteers at Keep Manatee Beautiful, and it's dedicated to the Washington Park community in Bradenton.

Jennifer Hoffman, the executive director of Keep Manatee Beautiful, says the area is considered a food desert, meaning it's more than two miles to the nearest grocery store.

Even though the Food Forest is in Washington Park, Hoffman says it's open to anyone in Manatee County.
