Childhood Hunger and Inadequate Nutrition Implications
Join Us in the Fight Against Hunger
Positive Impact Ministries, founded by Pastors Jay and Dr. Karalynne Brubaker, proactively addresses food insecurity, inequality, and the root causes of hunger in St. Petersburg, FL.
In 2020, in response to the rising need for food during the COVID-19 pandemic, under Jay and Karalynne Brubaker's leadership and with the help of 100's of volunteers, Positive Impact Ministries distributed enough fresh food to prepare more than 475,000 meals for individuals and families in the St. Petersburg community.
That number increased to nearly 2 million meals in 2023, significantly impacting those facing hunger in St. Petersburg.
Jay and Karalynne Brubaker have served the citizens of St. Petersburg for over 55 years. Jay is a St. Petersburg Police Officer, and together, they are Pastors of Positive Impact Church and Co-founders of Positive Impact Ministries.
Jay and Karalynne invite you to join them in making a positive impact in St. Petersburg, FL, and beyond.

Receiving free groceries from Positive Impact every week at Tangerine Plaza means a great deal to me. It helps me and my neighbors who don't have transportation, and it helps with my grocery bill.

Positive Impact always goes above and beyond. This past Christmas, they not only provided my family with a Christmas ham but they also ensured that my three-year-old son had gifts under the Christmas tree.

I'm a single mom, a student at SPC, and a volunteer at Positive Impact, which is an amazing organization. Whenever I say my grace, I thank Positive Impact Ministries because it's where my food comes from.

I'm 19 years old. I grew up in the foster care system and group homes. I feel like God brought me to Positive Impact. I love to serve at the grocery distribution event every Saturday and give back to the community; it feels good and gives me a sense of belonging.

I pick up food for myself and my daughter, who has a family of 8. We've been through a lot of trials over the past two years. Karalynne Brubaker has prayed for us; she has become like a sister to me. I love her so much. She and this place is a blessing to us.

I was incarcerated for 10 ½ months last year. I knew that I needed to turn my life around, or I'd be in prison or dead. Positive Impact is helping me change my life and get back on my feet again. They pray for me and give me food to eat. I'm not sure what I would do without their help.
