As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Gilbert leaders are asking residents to celebrate not with fireworks alone, but with service.
Through a partnership between For Our Town Gilbert and JustServe, the community is aiming to complete 25,000 hours of volunteer service before July 4 as part of the nationwide America250 initiative.
Mayor Scott Anderson promoted the effort in an email encouraging “every resident, family, school, business, and organization in Gilbert” to participate by volunteering and logging their hours online, including service performed retroactively back to January.
