Mesa needs volunteers for national day of service Sept. 12

The City of Mesa will recognize Love Your City – National Day of Service with several citywide volunteer projects on Saturday, Sept. 12. Start times range from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. before temperatures climb.

Volunteer projects will be taking place throughout Mesa. Projects include a cleanup at the Mesa Cemetery, an effort to reestablish the walkways at the Park of the Canals, indoor deep clean at the Mesa Family Resource Center, repainting a City of Mesa logo on a bridge and more, according to a press release.

The city welcomes all volunteers to this annual event. Information is available at https://www.mesaaz.gov/Resident-Resources/Citywide-Volunteer-Program. Groups interested in volunteering for a project should contact Mesa Citywide Volunteer Coordinator Katie Pollak at volunteer@mesaaz.gov.

The City of Mesa is partnering with JustServe to combine Love Your City with National Day of Service, which is observed on or near 9/11 to commemorate the acts of courage of first responders and the country mourning together in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.
