In May, Ogden City employees, business leaders and community volunteers traded in shirts, ties and cell phones in for shovels, rakes and gloves to make Junction City shine. Now, more than 62 different locations around the city are sparkling!
This was the city’s third official Make a Difference Day and more than 1,000 volunteers took part with 60-65 percent of the volunteers being Ogden City employees. The city does not mandate that the employees pitch in on the service day, most stepped up and want to help out. This is an incredible effort by all of the volunteers to take a day and help spruce up and clean the city limits.
The city helped in some areas by providing dirt, mulch and manpower. The city council also donated $5,000 in city money to the cause, although the man hours saved by the volunteers far outweighed the money donated by the city council. The council members also participated at locations ranging from the Salvation Army to the north site of the Nature Center on Mountain Road.
The volunteers have also been able to see what a difference their work that they did last year has done to this year. The number of volunteers has risen each year as well. Cleaning up Ogden is a big undertaking but it has been a great group effort by many of the volunteers that work and live here in Ogden.
I’m so glad that I live in a city that is constantly growing and improving and has many people who live in it and constantly want to make it better!
