The 17th annual Make a Difference Day in Fountain Hills is happening on Saturday, Oct. 18.

“This inspiring community event brings together volunteers from across town, all with one mission: to help improve the lives of others right here in our own neighborhoods,” said Town of Fountain Hills Volunteer Supervisor Kim Wickland. “We are currently looking for Fountain Hills residents who need assistance with minor home projects — both inside and out.”

Whether it is due to health concerns, mobility limitations, lack of transportation or other challenges, some residents may need help with tasks like minor home repairs, building exterior wheelchair ramps, light landscaping or hauling away debris.

Anyone who could benefit from a volunteer work project, or knows of someone in need of help, can contact Wickland at 480-816-5108, or by email, kwickland@fountainhillsaz.gov.

Residential Work Project Request Forms are available at both Town Hall and the Community Center. The deadline to submit requests is Monday, Sept. 1.

Anyone interested in volunteering may sign up at fountainhillsaz.gov/madd.

“Let’s come together to show the true spirit of Fountain Hills,” Wickland said. “When we each take time to Make a Difference, we create a stronger, more caring community for everyone.”
