(TRACY, CA) – Residents come together to Make-A-Difference today and every day in Tracy. Millions of Americans across the country are expected to spend Saturday, October 24th doing volunteer projects to improve their communities and help neighbors in need. The day is the largest community service effort in the nation, rallying corporations, government leaders, charitable organizations and everyday Americans into action on one day.

The City of Tracy has encouraged others to “Make a Difference” by hosting a variety events for the past eight years. This year all community members of Tracy are again called to act and to go out and make a difference in whatever way they can. We encourage all citizens to celebrate the spirit of volunteer service while working to make a positive difference in our community.
