31 LOCAL NON-PROFITS RECEIVE CITY GRANT TO SUPPORT PANDEMIC RECOVERY |
|
The City of Largo, along with municipalities across the United States, received American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support local recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthen overall community health and resilience.
In December 2022, Largo City Commission approved $650,000 in grant funding for thirty-one (31) nonprofits that serve Largo residents. Collectively, these nonprofit organizations provide a wide array of services to address mental health, food security, education across all ages, housing support, domestic violence support, substance use services, childcare, and eldercare - with many nonprofits providing multiple services.
Congratulations to the nonprofits that successfully applied for this funding! We appreciate all you do for the community.

If you're longing for some Big Top fun, join us for this captivating 175-year-old European circus, run by the Zoppé family for eight generations. This enchanting, intimate show carries on centuries-old circus traditions, with bareback riding and equestrian stunts, hilarious clowning (featuring Giovanni Zoppé and his son Julien), acrobats, jugglers, and more. Even the horses - and the talented performing dogs - are part of the family. In their 500-seat tent, no one is more than 25 feet from the ring!
