A Citywide Initiative
Re-imagine ST. PETE
Together, we will inspire hope and ignite change in our city.
Inspiring Hope. Igniting Change.
Re-imagine ST. PETE began with a question:
What would it take to end hunger in our city—and ensure that every neighbor seeking help is met with dignity, compassion, and hope?
Increase the public's understanding of food insecurity
Remove the associated stigma
Unite organizations in the movement to end hunger
Campaign launched June 21st, 2024
The Next Chapter
Re-imagine ST. PETE began with a vision
From the beginning, Re-imagine ST. PETE was built on the understanding that food insecurity is rarely just about food. Challenges involving housing, healthcare, transportation, employment, financial stability, mental health, and other areas of life are often deeply interconnected.
That's why Re-imagine ST. PETE was created—to bring nonprofits, businesses, churches, healthcare providers, government agencies, and community leaders together around a shared goal: strengthening collaboration and creating greater collective impact for our neighbors.
Today, that vision is taking shape in new and tangible ways.
Every week, Positive Impact builds relationships with neighbors who come to us for food. Those relationships create an opportunity to do more than meet an immediate need. They create a bridge to trusted organizations, resources, and opportunities that can help address the challenges beyond food and support a path toward greater stability.
"We don't have to provide every solution.
We can help bring the solutions together."
Community Resource Partner Network
Connecting trusted organizations, strengthening referral relationships, and making resources easier for our neighbors to access.
Community Impact Exchange
Bringing organizations and community leaders together regularly—to build relationships, share resources, identify gaps, and turn connection into action.
The Impact Center
A future collaborative Community Impact Campus where food, health, opportunity, resources, and hope come together in one place.
The vision hasn't changed. The pathway for bringing it to life has become clearer.
From Connection to Collaboration
The Community Impact Exchange
A recurring gathering where organizations and community leaders come together — not simply to network, but to build relationships that lead to action.
Build meaningful relationships with other organizations serving our community
Learn about one another's programs, services, and resources
Share needs, ideas, opportunities, and best practices
Identify gaps and areas where greater collaboration is needed
Develop partnerships and referral relationships
Explore opportunities to serve together through Positive Impact and The Impact Center
Find new ways to collectively strengthen St. Petersburg
Create stronger pathways that connect neighbors to the right resources at the right time
This isn't networking for networking's sake. The goal is connection that leads to collaboration — and collaboration that leads to greater community impact.
Partner With Us
Become a Community Resource Partner
Is your organization helping people in our community move toward greater health, stability, opportunity, or well-being? We want to know you.
Positive Impact ST. PETE is building a growing Community Resource Partner Network of trusted organizations whose programs, services, expertise, and resources can help address the many interconnected needs our neighbors may experience.
Community Resource Partners may engage in different ways — from participating in Community Impact Exchange gatherings and developing referral relationships to providing resources at our Saturday distributions, collaborating on community initiatives, or eventually providing services through The Impact Center. There is no expectation that every partner will participate in the same way. The goal is to know who is doing what, build trusted relationships, and make it easier for organizations and neighbors to connect with the right resources at the right time.
