Plymouth is a fantastic place to call home, visit or do business. There are a number of reasons for that, but the big advantage we have is the city’s volunteer program. 

This week marks National Volunteer Week, and I’d like to take a moment and share – on behalf of myself and the city – the sincere appreciation we have for each and every one of you who generously donate time, talent and dedication to make the community a better place. 

We count on our city staff to keep the city running, and they do an excellent job. However, volunteers are the icing on the cake – accomplishing things that we simply couldn’t without your help. Whether it’s taking care of a park, helping out at events or using specialized skills to lend a hand, you enhance the amenities and services our residents rely on and appreciate.

This week, the city will share some of your stories and shine a light on a handful of the incredible skills that the volunteer program offers. Keep an eye on the city’s Facebook page to see featured volunteers throughout the week.
