On Saturday, Oct. 21, hundreds of Fountain Hills residents will volunteer their time to make a difference in the lives of their neighbors in need of assistance.
Fountain Hills is known as a community of volunteers, particularly this week for the 15th annual Make a Difference Day event taking place throughout the community. The town is still taking volunteers to help with the various projects.
For more than 30 years, USA Today and Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service, have joined together to host a national Make a Difference Day, the largest national day of community service in the country.
For the past 15 years, Fountain Hills has participated each year in October, connecting volunteers with opportunities to serve others aiding those residents most vulnerable and in need of some support from the community.
Work projects include raking and cleaning up landscaping debris, building exterior wheelchair ramps, minor interior and exterior home repairs, weed control and more.
Those seeking additional information or wanting to sign on to help may contact Town of Fountain Hills Volunteer Coordinator Kim Wickland, 480-816-5108 or kwickland@fountainhillsaz.gov.
