With the new school year underway, we’ll soon see more activity around town as residents reconnect after summer break.
Schools will be buzzing with students, and weekends will fill up with youth sports – soccer, football, softball, baseball and more. Local nonprofits will also be ramping up their fall programming, and many will be looking for volunteers and support.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on what makes our community so special.
We live in a safe, beautiful place with excellent schools, vibrant organizations and incredible local resources. But these things don’t just happen – they depend on both funding and people power.
Please don’t take them for granted. Consider giving back by volunteering your time – whether it’s something you’re passionate about or simply something you enjoy. Not only will you make a difference, but you’ll also set an example for your family and friends about the value of community involvement.
There are so many ways to get involved:
• Help out at a local school
• Volunteer with the Festival of Lights Parade
• Join a service club like Kiwanis or Rotary
• Support GreenTown Los Altos or the Los Altos History Museum
• Serve on a city commission or committee
• Or lend your time to any of the many nonprofits that enrich our town.
And to stay connected with all these efforts, support local journalism by subscribing to and advertising in the Town Crier.
We’re part of the community fabric, too – and we need your help to keep doing what we do.
Want to learn more about how to get involved? Join us at the Community Volunteer Fair on Saturday, October 4, at State Street Market.
