West Jordan Steps Up for Service, Earns Just Serve City Recognition

The City of West Jordan has been officially recognized as a Just Serve City, an honor given for our community's commitment to service and compassion.

The recognition follows our 9/11 Days of Remembrance service projects. We completed every project we set out to accomplish, and demonstrated to each other and the rest of the valley that we have a strong culture of volunteerism.

City leaders were approached by the Just Serve organization and invited to receive the designation based on the scope and impact of this work.

"It shows that we value compassion, empathy, and community support, and that we foster strong partnerships within our community," said Glori Buchei, Community Outreach Coordinator for West Jordan City. "We believe in cultivating a culture of helping one another, volunteering, and engaging in acts of service."

The Just Serve City designation reflects West Jordan's ongoing efforts to bring residents, organizations, and partners together in meaningful ways, reinforcing the city's commitment to service as a cornerstone of community life.
