This year, JaxParks is offering their Holiday Blast Camp virtually!

In observance of Christmas, the following City government offices and facilities will be closed Thursday, Dec. 24, and Friday, Dec.  25.

Starting Friday, Dec. 18, at 9 a.m., the City of Jacksonville will provide another round of funds for businesses affected by the pandemic through its Small Business Relief Program. Along with offering financial support to those who lost revenue due to the impact of COVID-19, the program was designed to encourage approved businesses to retain their employees.

Animal Care and Protective Services (ACPS) and the Jacksonville Humane Society (JHS) are inviting residents to participate in the Silent Night program by fostering a shelter pet through the holiday.

The Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Program is moving into its second phase, providing support to local business owners. The application for commercial properties will be available at JacksonvilleCares.com at noon Thursday, Dec. 10. The program launched phase one at the beginning of the month with assistance for residential properties.

By highlighting our city’s black-owned restaurants, we are presenting an opportunity for citizens to discover dining spaces, gain exposure to and develop an appreciation for new food, and support local businesses and communities,” said Mayor Lenny Curry. “I am proud that Jacksonville is one of the first cities in Florida to participate in Black Restaurant Week and look forward to it becoming a tradition.”
