Five ways to give back and get involved in St. Pete
If you’re searching for a way to give back, the Catalyst’s Impact Connector is here to help. Each week, we feature five organizations in the Tampa Bay area that need your input, whether that’s time, talent, items, funding or simply awareness. We’re certain you’ll find something here that matches your interests and will positively impact the community.
Edge District Quarterly Clean Up
The EDGE Business District Association will host its Quarterly District Cleanup on Saturday, March 29, from 8 to 10 a.m. Volunteers will meet in front of Flagship Bank at 965 Central Ave. for check-in, instructions, equipment distribution, and light refreshments before splitting into teams to clean up the neighborhood. The event is open to anyone willing to lend a hand, even if only for part of the two-hour cleanup. Organizers ask attendees to RSVP in advance to ensure enough supplies – and snacks – are available.
Do Good Day
Do Good Day will return for its second year on Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Ferg’s Sports Bar & Grill in downtown St. Petersburg’s EDGE District. The event will feature up to 35 local nonprofits in a career fair-style setting, offering attendees the chance to explore volunteer opportunities, connect with organizations and take action on the spot. Created to bridge the gap between community members and the many nonprofits in the area, Do Good Day aims to make getting involved more accessible. The event is free for participating organizations and designed to foster meaningful connections between nonprofits and potential volunteers.
