A MOVIE ON A MISSION

Our film aims to highlight the power of coming together to support one another within our own local communities. At every city where we screen the movie, we spotlight a local non-profit that is dedicated to serving the community and single family homes.

Reach St. Pete’s mission is to address the barriers faced by those living in food deserts, experiencing food insecurity, or falling within the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) threshold.

With this program, we aim to bring essential resources directly to those in need, providing a dignified shopping experience that mirrors a traditional grocery store.
