Neighborhood Services
2025 Days of Service
My Hometown Ogden is a cooperative effort between Ogden City, interdenominational organizations, local businesses, and community partners. Our central purpose is to encourage all residents to have the courage to care for one another by providing opportunities in the community to elevate education, assist homeowners to improve their property, and promote resources for better job opportunities.
Our Story
Between April and October of 2022, myHometown Ogden held five days of service. The all-volunteer staff asked Ogden City homeowners if they needed help with any home or yard care projects. The responses ranged from something as simple as mowing an overgrown lawn and picking up fallen tree branches, to painting a home and rebuilding a porch.
​
​From this beginning, the level of citizen engagement expanded. Those who were helped became the helpers by becoming block captains who worked with their neighbors to identify other projects and the resources needed to address them. Ogden City and local businesses chipped in to minimize or eliminate financial burdens. Neighborhoods began to be united and caring and lasting friendships were created through what we now call Neighborhood Services.
The My Hometown Ogden story now includes Community Resource Centers where residents can find no-cost resources and classes for adults, youth, and children. These range from practical skills, such as sewing and computer basics, to hobbies and interests, such as music lessons and art & crafts. The list of available classes is always expanding, and all are welcome to sign up or suggest additional classes that would be of value to the Ogden community.​
