As the holiday season draws near, St. Pete Beach Fire Rescue has teamed up with the Toys for Tots team to make Christmas wishes come true for needy children. St. Pete Beach Fire Rescue works very hard to make Toys for Tots a success, but could never do it without the help of our generous community and business leaders.

See more details on how you can participate HERE.

Testimonial from a Participant of Phase 1 of the Beautification Program:
"The right-of-way beautification project is complete and looks great. It even motivated me to power wash the sidewalk and paint our mailbox! More importantly, it's effectively absorbing today's heavy rainfall (no run-off, no flooding). Thanks again to the contractors and folks at the City; everyone was great to work with."
- Happy Resident
