ABL x Feed St. Pete
Thanksgiving 2022
Working hard this year to make St. Pete locals have A Better Thanksgiving!
Thanks for joining us @ Green Bench Friday 11/18!
Or if you'd rather not, we're also going to pick up the bags you'd like to donate with Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving!
If you received a colored bag and HATE BEER :(, be sure to leave it with the Thanksgiving goodies outside of your home and we'll come sweep it for you!
In the spirit of competition, we decided to pit teams and neighborhoods against each other to see who had the best neighbors. Stay tuned for the results!
If our Pilgrims find goodies set out for the needy, we'll leave a gift for you; a lovely thank you card and a chance to win a $25 gift card for the holidays
OR
If you join us, we'll also be handing out thank you's with a separate raffle to win and potentially less competition!

Overall Results!
This time around, we managed to, with only 10 days of preparation, motivate 2 neighborhoods and the friends/family around us to help out Feed St. Pete food bank, operated by St. Pete Community Church on 54th Ave S and 31st St!
This totaled in about 69 large bags full of food for families to enjoy, coming in at approximately 825# of food collected altogether.
We spent about $300 on marketing materials and harvesting and managed to get almost 3x the outcome on a pound-for-pound basis!
On a cash basis, we estimate that the $300 spent on marketing and gathering materials resulted in a nearly 4-5x return in value for donations; turning the marketing expense we normally would've just outright donated prior years into about $1,200-$1,500 worth of charity by motivating those around us to join!
Special thanks to the following for their contributions:
A Better Life Realty & Their Families- For donating the marketing material and a bunch of canned goods
Plummer Pet Hospital- For donating nearly 100# of food!
Ryan L with Champions Mortgage- For his generous donations
Harrison Froid from Goosehead Insurance - for his generous donations
Tom Haight & Family- For their wonderful and generous donations
Feed St. Pete Food Bank- For letting us work with them
Neighbors from Coquina Key- For Donating well over 200# of food
Neighbors from Lake Pasadena Estates- For Donating well over 150# of food!
Now- keep this in mind; we do similar marketing pushes for all of our premium listings so if you're thinking of putting your house on the market, don't settle for ok or good. Always push for service from someone BETTER!
