The non-profit hosted a farmers market in its parking lot to bring the community together. The event featured over 30 vendors, including farmers, food sellers, and plant vendors.

All funds raised from the event will be directed towards critical repairs, including restoring the building's roof, which has stood since 1926.

It's been one year since Hurricane Milton impacted our community. Tampa Bay 28 revisited some of Tampa Bay's hardest hit areas to show the recovery and the work that still needs to be done.
