Maximo Moorings Air Quality Update

The City of St Petersburg Water Resources Group has acknowledged the current air quality issue within our neighborhood stemming from the water treatment plant across the street.

Please click here for a detailed explanation as well as FAQs.

Residents are encouraged to continue to use the See Click Fix app or the Issue Reporting Center on our website as a tool to communicate non-emergency issues to the City.

There are also several Maximo ‘Watch Areas’ set up in See Click Fix that Maximo residents can follow, if they would like to do so. https://seeclickfix.com/watchers/94192 or https://seeclickfix.com/watch_area/51275.

If you have questions regarding this communication, they can be funneled through Susan Russo who is our Public Relations Director on the Maximo Board (PR@maximo-moorings.com) and she will get the FAQs updated with the City’s responses.

Thank you,

Maximo Board

What is a Truly Amazing Resource Race?


This annual event is one of our LARGEST Youth Council activities and has become a favorite of youth, volunteers, board and staff! It’s really lots of fun (and takes an army of volunteers and supports).

Just like the TV show, teams must decipher clues and then go to stops where they are required to perform various tasks. Here’s where the twist comes in! All of the tasks in our RACE is designed to help the youth we serve fill in life skills and learning gaps that are common to this vulnerable population. The RACE makes learning these life skills fun. It’s a whole day of learning without opening a single book! Come cheer on the racers at the Finish-Line Party at Quaker Steak and Lube for a celebration and (late) lunch!
The resilient young people we serve have faced many of life’s most difficult challenges and in many cases have been distracted or not had the opportunity to engage in important activities to learn how life works.  Our Truly Amazing Resource Race takes teams through all kinds of activities designed to help fill in some of the missing pieces in a fun way.

Give Day Tampa Bay: Suncoast Voices for Children

Suncoast Voices for Children works on the front-end to help keep children out of foster care as well as to help those already within the system.  Since 2004 we’ve helped thousands because we believe, if the parents can’t care for them, the community must. Every year there are as many as 3,000 children in found danger from adults in our community.

Child Protection Investigators in Pasco and Pinellas Counties identify children in danger and the needs the State does not meet.  We then provide items that can keep them from becoming foster children –  like their very own beds, or lockboxes to lock up guns and medications, or door alarms to prevent them from running into danger.  

For children in foster care,  Case Managers identify the children and their unmet needs.  These children often leave home with nothing but the clothes on their backs.  Most suffer failure in school.   More than half never get to play after school sports or go on school trips or camping.  We meet those needs.

Here are our 2017 Totals (in round numbers)

– Total number of children served – 2,220
– Total dollar amount spent on children ‘s needs – $200,000
– 875 children provided beds/bedding – $114,000
– Health and safety items – 565 children – $23,250
– Normalcy Activities and Equipment – 494 children – $46,000

– Education Support – 65 children – $7,100
