“I recently had the chance to work with Help Us Gather (HUG), and I was really impressed at the amazing work they do for the community! HUG is an amazing organization that focuses on bringing people with disabilities together and making sure everyone feels included.

The team at HUG is fantastic. They really care about the people they serve and always go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and supported. HUG offers a lot of great events that are fun and inclusive for everyone and you can tell that a lot of thought goes into making sure all participants have a good time. It's wonderful to see how happy and confident people are when they get involved with HUG.

I highly recommend Help Us Gather to anyone looking to support a great cause!”

They also have plenty of other forms of art such as photography, sculptures, and short films. Admission is free so it’s definitely worth stopping by and checking it out.”

“New review! Krampus. Their second year and better organized this year as they were overwhelmed the first time around not knowing how well received it would be! What an awesome job and will only get better from here.

You want a German experience, you go to a German place. Year after year the German American society puts on a great Oktoberfest. Now I might not be German but they make me want to celebrate with the German beer, the German music and the food! Love love their potato cakes! And the rest of the food too but again love their potato cakes!!! Ha ha ha great time and happy to come back!!”

“Unfortunately I am surrendering my cat because I'm unable to take care of his due to my disability. Roo is such a sweetheart, loving, playful kitty and loves to eat. I'm dropping Roo off September 7 th in the morning and I feel really bad that I have to do this. The person who answered the phone was so nice, warm, kind hearted and very lovely. If you are looking for a perfect cat Roo is Amazing! If someone could possibly scoop him up that would be great! He's an orange cat. I will know more when I get there on Saturday 9/7/2024, but everything is going to go smoothly. Like I said the lady who I spoke to was so kind and understanding. I finally found a place for my cat. If anyone could possibly help out Roo ASAP please adopt him, you definitely are going to be getting a gentle, loving cat who loves attention and food. I am so happy that I found the SPCA to help me out, other places were definitely wrong for Roo. Thank you so much ! Have a fantastic day !?”

“Used to go with my dad who lived 31 years sober before he passed away. Great place, very welcoming. I am grateful there's a Rebos Club for those who are wanting to get sober and those who are staying sober one day at a time.”

“Brand new, clean place. The staff are very good at their jobs. They make you feel more like family then patients. The all inclusive and very prompt service gives the impression of yester-year, when doctors made house calls and really cared about the patients. Would highly recommend for someone that was all the bells and whistles, yet cozy staff and programs, including breakfast and lunch. There the doctors go to the patient instead of the patient going to the doctors. Wonderful place. It's nice to know they love and care about you.”

“There is a Flea Market there every Saturday till the end if the year. I have a space there. I sell new clothes 2/5.00, New Crocs for 10.00 only 5 Pair left. New Levi's Mens Slippers 10.00. Very nice people to deal with. It is outside, so it does get a little hot at times. Come and check us out 8am to 2pm Saturday.”

“This is a true thrift experience. Lots of different items with great prices. Yes, you have to dig through the merchandise and really take your time looking but isn’t that what thrifting is all about? Besides, the volunteers are very kind and friendly. It is a hidden St. Pete gem.”

“Yesterday I had the most amazing day of my life I've got to meet some of the most amazing people I represent Jesus my grandson was graduating from their life skills program I got to meet a lot of children that were there and their parents to watch so many people care about so many other people they huge giveaway yesterday to watch the people come up and be so excited for the stuff was free tell watch the expression on the people's faces so happy to just give and not expecting anything back it truly was the greatest day of my life since I've moved to Florida I would post the pictures that I took yesterday but without the permission of some of the parents and their children I don't feel right to himself but I can promise you the leaders that run this place there dedication to these children. To refuse to allow these children to become anything other than kings and queen that they deserve today was remarkable”

“I’ve been using Services Unlimited for the past 5 years, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. They are always professional, communicate clearly, and go above and beyond to help with anything I need. Whether it’s notary services, taxes, or a range of other services, they consistently deliver with efficiency and care. The team is friendly, reliable, and truly a pleasure to work with. They also speak Spanish, which makes everything even more convenient. I highly recommend Services Unlimited to anyone looking for trustworthy and dependable support whether that is business or personal.”

“Neighborly in Largo was an enormous blessing for us and for my grandma, Darlene. She loved coming daily (even though everyday she forgot she had been there before), and was treated with such kindness and love from all the staff. Lee was very helpful as we navigated the new waters we had to care for her, as was everyone else. We were able to continue our jobs (although we had to shift hours), while she lived with us and we knew she had a nice friendly place to have fun while we were at work. Sadly, her time there was too brief and she is now with the Lord. We just wanted to say thank you for all that you do for our aging adults and the way you helped our family and my grandma. Thank you again for your services to our community!”

“I absolutely love the triangles program here and all the teachers and staff. My son has struggled trying out prek programs. Here the teachers love the kiddos like their own, they do a great job at keeping the kids safe and focusing on social and emotional development, and i’ve seen so much improvement in my son. My son has learned so much and is completely thriving thanks to this wonderful program. I couldnt ask for my son to go anywhere with more patient and caring teachers. Highly recommend!!”

“If you get a chance to attend the Yoga in the Park at Coachman Park led by the Y In Motion instructors, please do so. I went to the Monday evening and the Saturday morning class while staying in the area. The instructors were excellent. These classes can be followed by all levels of ability. They play music in the background and some instructors use a microphone and some don't. It's outdoors on the grass so there may be wind and chilly temps from the waterfront and the grass may be wet. Bring your mat and a towel. It was winter when I went, so it got dark during the Monday evening class, but the green was lit up and the huge fire torch sculptures were lit. It is a gorgeous setting. I really enjoyed these classes and couldn't believe they were free and found plenty of free parking.”

“First, no signage to direct you to the Festival. This is a Huge recreation facility. I drove into first entrance off Belcher and drove in the densely parking area. No signs.
This is my fifth time at the Festival. I truly support the cause but it needs some tweaking.
Inside. Where the trees are, it is so dark, very dimly lit that only the lights from the tree illuminate. You could barely make out some of the decor. I felt badly for the vendors. Was difficult to see their products to sell.
The entertainment was adorable.Young children performing.”

“Empire Vapor Barrier came through for us again !

The crew at Empire is friendly ,courteous, and qualified to do just about anything you need .
Thanks again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I went to an informative seminar on Marijuana here yesterday. As a nurse, I want to know more about this, since it seems to be more prevalent in my community. The speaker showed results of studies done, especially with children /teens that was so frightening, And, interestingly enough, she informed us of the main source of funding for medical marijuana in Florida and who's spending millions to get the next step on the ballot. It's mostly only one entity! I've worked in Drug Rehab for 5 years and have seen the effects created by drugs on teens and adults. Marijuana is NOT free from harmful effects. I encourage everyone to inform yourself of the recent studies and the dangers of marijuana for us in rearing new generations and living happily as adults. This center can provide you this information.”

“My son is going into his 6th season and we can't wait for this season to start. Hardworking volunteers and great family interactions at all the practices and games. We are excited for the future of PCYB.”

“My brothers and sisters work for our community, students, and parents. We believe that teachers and support professionals deserve excellent working conditions, fair and livable wages, and a government that works for the people, not private corporations. Public education is essential and our state constitution must provide equitable facilities and services for all. Helen Keller units is with her quote, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."”

“My father came home for hospice after 3 months in rehab on Dec. 23rd. He was not in good physical or mental shape with dementia and sundowners causing severe hallucinations. He declined rapidly and went into critical care after about 3 days.

Every single person at Empath that came by was incredibly nice, helpful, professional and honestly cared about his well being during his final days.

They dispatched a nurse at 11:00PM as well as additional drugs to help him rest comfortably. I can not say enough good things about this company, their care and compassion for caring for my Dad. He passed this morning sadly, however they stayed until the funeral home arrived and even helped carry his body out of the bedroom where a stretcher would not fit.”

“The Pinellas Community Foundation is a true asset to Pinellas County! Their dedication to improving the lives of local residents is inspiring. From supporting vital community programs to helping nonprofits grow and thrive, they are making a real difference every single day.

What I appreciate most is their genuine care and commitment to serving our area. They don’t just fund projects they build partnerships that create lasting impact. It’s clear they have a deep understanding of the unique needs of our community and work tirelessly to meet them.

We’re fortunate to have such a strong, trustworthy organization leading the way in Pinellas County. Highly recommend supporting their mission!”

“All I can say is that if it wasn't for Jeff, Joe, and Richard and the rest of the staff I probably would still be on the streets. With respect, patience and kindness and a lot of direction, support and a lot of simply caring. My life was a major disaster and full of disappointment. I have lost everything and this last summer I was bitten by a deadly poisonous snake, and almost lost my life. So I was starting over yet again with nothing and all three of these guys gave was a little encouragement and simple instructions and I have finally finally finally got my life back in order! I am not good at expressing my feelings in person so I was just tell the whole world right here. Thank you from the bottom my heart this goes out also to Dan Kate's Directions for Living, Andrew Snyder, VA case manager, Sarah Nichols, S.O.R.E.S. and the countless others. I am clean, I have a home, a place to call my own. My goal was to have my own place and cook my own tanks giving dinner for the first time in 15 years. I have been to hell and back lost everything including my family, lied too, robbed, hit by a car and lost my son in 2024 and then the snake bite but I am back stronger then ever smarter then ever and getting stronger everyday. Pinellas Hope saved my life! Thank you all so much!!!”
