Dear Editor,
We are writing to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Billings and surrounding area for their tremendous support during our 2024 JustServe Community Day of Service.
This year, we were overwhelmed with the response, as over 120 projects were listed on the JustServe.org website for Saturday April 27th. Among these, 42 projects were from 25 organizations included 10 from the Great American Clean Up/Bright ‘n Beautiful Billings were dedicated solely to the JustServe Community Day of Service, including donation wish lists.
The impact of your collective efforts was truly remarkable. Every organization involved expressed profound gratitude for the outcomes achieved, despite any shortage of volunteers. Your willingness to lend a hand made a significant difference in our community. There were 360 volunteers for a total of 920+ hours of service.
A special mention goes to Nick Anderson, Billings Fireman, and Chief Valdez for their invaluable support in flying our JustServe Community Day of Service banner from the ladder truck at the fire station, a sight that surely inspired many passersby on 24th Street West.
The results of hard work and dedication are visible throughout our community.
Anthony Sammartino of the Yellowstone River Parks Association aptly remarked, “JustServe is the real deal!” Indeed, it is your commitment and enthusiasm, along with the support of your families and friends, that make JustServe such a powerful force for good.
We urge everyone to explore the year-round opportunities for service available on JustServe.org, as there is always a need for willing hearts and helping hands.
With warm regards,
Kim Peterson – Billings Heights JustServe Specialist
Lynnadele Nielsen- Billings South JustServe Specialist
Julane Wells- Billings West JustServe Specialist
