Remembering September 11th
September 11th is now known as “Patriot Day” in the United States and is observed as the National Day of Service and Remembrance of the fallen of the 9/11 Attacks.
Roy City Fire will host a tribute for the fallen and heroes of 9/11, alongside Roy City Police Department. It will be held in front of Roy Fire Station 31, next to the city offices, beginning at 6:30 a.m. At 6:45 a.m., all present will pause and remember the events of that day and honor the fallen and first responders.
The city is also participating in Just Serve’s 9/11 food drive. You can drop your donations off at the city building until September 8th.
Just Serve has three volunteer opportunities available for Roy City for the 9/11 Food Drive.
We have had some successful service opportunities the past few weeks as our community gathers and works together to make our town a better place. Please take some time to serve your family, friends, neighbors, or even a stranger. Opportunities to serve and give are available all year long at the two Blessing Boxes located at Memorial Park and Public Works. We should strive to live by the motto of “Service before Self.” Anne Frank said, “No one has ever become poor by giving.”
