A Community Celebration of Goodness

Participate in the scavenger hunt for a chance to win exciting prizes! And, of course, look out for door prizes that add an extra layer of fun to the experience.

Inspired for a Purpose

The brainchild behind Do Good Days stems from a genuine desire to help bridge the gap between enthusiastic volunteers and the extensive number of non-profits in St. Petersburg. Organizers saw the challenges many people faced when trying to engage with local charities. That’s why this event is cleverly designed to resemble a career fair. Attendees can stroll from booth to booth, engaging with representatives from different non-profits. It’s a casual and friendly atmosphere that allows folks to learn more about the causes that resonate with them most.

Last Year’s Highlights!

For those who missed the inaugural event, the first Do Good Days featured well-loved local non-profits such as the Great Explorations Children’s Museum, St. Pete Free Clinic, Out Arts & Culture, Daystar Life Center, 15th St Farm, and Parc, among others. It was a day filled with heartwarming stories and an outpouring of community spirit. This year promises to be equally inspiring and fulfilling.

Partnership with Mezzo Market

This year, Do Good Days is perfectly timed to coincide with the thriving Mezzo Market — an outdoor street market that takes place on Baum Avenue, nestled between Intermezzo Coffee and Green Bench Brewing. With over 135 small business vendors, the Mezzo Market attracts a steady stream of foot traffic. This collaboration enhances visibility for participating non-profits, ensuring that their missions reach a broader audience. It’s an excellent opportunity for community members to make connections across multiple sectors.

Come Together for a Greater Cause

Do Good Days underscores the essence of community engagement and collaboration, inviting residents to get involved and make a difference. This is not just a chance to learn about local organizations; it’s a celebration of the spirit of giving and community unity that makes St. Petersburg thrive!

It’s shaping up to be a heart-tugging day filled with hope, fun, and endless possibilities for making a change right in your own backyard. Don’t miss out!
