Patch has launched a new project called Good Deeds, Great Communities that invites St. Petersburg residents to share acts of kindness they have witnessed or experienced. The initiative aims to highlight the many ways people in the community support one another, with Patch set to make a $500 charitable donation to a local nonprofit at the end of the submission period.

Why it matters

The Good Deeds, Great Communities project provides a platform for St. Petersburg residents to celebrate the kindness happening in their community. By sharing these stories, the initiative hopes to inspire more acts of generosity and foster a greater sense of community spirit.

The details

Residents can submit their good deed stories through an online form on the Patch website. Submissions can be for acts the person performed themselves or witnessed someone else doing. The form asks for the person's state and ZIP code, which powers a real-time leaderboard so readers can follow along and encourage others to participate. Patch will select one community at its discretion to receive the $500 charitable donation at the end of the submission period, which runs through March 31, 2026.

• The Good Deeds, Great Communities submission period is open through March 31, 2026.

What’s next

At the end of the submission period, Patch will select one community to receive a $500 charitable donation from the company.
