Pass-a-Grille Beach Community Church in St. Pete Beach donated over 1,200 non-perishable food items to the St. Petersburg Free Clinic in November. The church regularly provides to the Clinic throughout the year but this was a special effort. The donations, which came from church members and friends in the community, were part of the Mission:1 project of the United Church of Christ, of which Pass-a-Grille is a member congregation.

  Mission:1 was a nationwide appeal by UCC congregations focused on November 11, 2011 — 11.11.11 —  to gather in the several weeks leading up to that date 1 million items of healthy food for local food banks, mail 11,111 letters to the President and U.S. Senators and Representatives urging reform of U.S. foreign assistance for the poor, donate $111,111 to Neighbors-in-Need hunger-related ministries and $111,111 to East Africa famine relief. All goals were exceeded.

 Pass-a-Grille Beach Church parked a truck with its food appeal curbside at the church in the two weeks prior to 11.11.11 and for two days at the Isla del Sol shopping center.
