A Pinellas County school cut the ribbon on a new food pantry to help support families.

We want to make sure that no kid comes to school hungry, said Jade Jessurun, the school social worker for Tyrone Middle.

It helps the community, like its a way to give back, said student Michael Wright.

Tyrone Middle School in St. Pete opened the Eagles Fresh Market, its first on-campus food pantry.

Its in partnership with Feeding Tampa Bay and BayCare.

This is going to be for our students and their families, said Jessurun. "We will be open for families every Thursday and then for students every Friday, and we will also open up to our staff after our families have had a chance to come and see if theres anything they need in here.

Jessurun said it's no cost and no questions asked.
