The City of Fremont received a national nod from USA Weekend last week. 

The news magazine highlighted Fremont as one of three cities recognized for their participation in Make a Difference Day, a national day of volunteering and giving back to the community observed every third Saturday in October.

Fremont has participated in Make A Difference Day for the last 11 years.

Last year, the city turned out record numbers with more than 1,300 volunteers participating in 76 projects, including beautifying local schools, cleaning up parks and even holding an oil change clinic for single mothers.

The Fremont Family Resource Center received $10,000 for Fremont award, according to the City of Fremont.

That money will go toward this year’s Make a Difference Day.
