Ribbon Cutting for Good

Creative Clay 1846 1st Avenue South, Saint Petersburg, FL, United States

Ribbon Cutting for Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Love
Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Love is a social enterprise food truck on a mission to serve up joy—one handcrafted ice cream ball at a time. Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, our food truck combines nostalgic flavors with a greater purpose: creating inclusive employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
At Great Balls of Love, we craft premium ice cream balls, hand-rolled and coated in crunchy cereal, alongside cereal-infused coffees and freshly baked cereal-inspired cookies. Our menu is playful, innovative, and designed to bring out the kid in everyone. But beyond our sweet treats, we’re here to make an impact.
We partner with community organizations to offer career readiness training in hospitality, using our food truck as a hands-on learning environment. Through skills training and meaningful employment, we champion workplace inclusion and economic empowerment for people of all abilities.
With a commitment to quality ingredients, community collaboration, and an unwavering belief in the potential of every individual, Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Love is redefining what it means to mix business with purpose.
