PLANT CITY, Fla. – Plant City residents looking to stretch their grocery budgets and stay on top of their health have a big opportunity coming up this weekend. On Saturday, Feb. 21, the Hillsborough County Healthy Living Program is taking over the Plant City Community Resource Center to host a comprehensive Community Health Fair.
The morning kicks off with a massive food distribution event. From 9 to 10:30 a.m., locals can pick up free groceries provided through a partnership with Feeding Tampa Bay. This isn’t just shelf-stable items, either; the kits typically include fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, and pantry staples like beans and rice.
Perhaps most importantly for those in a pinch, there are no income restrictions required to receive the food.
The event, located at 307 N. Michigan Ave., continues until noon with a focus on long-term wellness. Attendees can take advantage of free health screenings and vaccinations, though the shots are subject to availability.
For many, the fair serves as a front door to the county’s year-round Healthy Living Program. Beyond the one-day event, this program offers residents access to exercise rooms, nutritional counseling, and classes on everything from cooking to managing diabetes.
To keep the atmosphere light, the county is also planning giveaways and specific activities for children, making it a family-friendly stop.
Those interested in more details about the food distribution or the Hillsborough County Health Care Plan can reach out directly at (813) 272-5040.
