Kick-off: To start this day of service, several hundred volunteers attended a kick-off where Mayor Gary Podesto swore in one hundred AmeriCorps members. This demonstrated that volunteerism is serious business. Volunteers from AmeriCorps, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Quail Lakes Baptist, Allstate Insurance, 4-H, Girl Scouts of America, First Night Stockton, government employees, students of all ages, service clubs, special interest groups, individuals and families were all encouraged by Mayor Podesto to go out and “Make A Difference!” |

| The mission was to help kids feel safe and provide information to parents for disaster preparation. Kids also had the opportunity to donate their change to the Make A Difference Day Scholarship Fund, and draw pictures for our Armed Forces Personnel. Over 300 pieces of artwork created by elementary school students were donated and a whopping $70.73 was raised by the children for the Scholarship fund. Mission accomplished - the Kids Made A Difference! | |||||||||
