You may or may not sympathize with Uhuru’s jargon-heavy activism in support of African-American — or in their preferred parlance, African — communities. But no one in St. Petersburg would argue the quality of the breakfasts served up by Uhuru volunteers during the Saturday Morning Market on Central Avenue. Stand in line, keep an eye out for an empty table and then settle down for the finest scrambled eggs, omelets and breakfast wraps anywhere. (And omigod, that fried bread.)

October-May, downtown St. Pete. To volunteer, call 727-824-5685.
