MyHometown Provo

Imagine a community where children play, and friendships are born as neighbors work and laugh together while serving one another. My Hometown Provo does more than imagine, it is an initiative that makes it happen.

​

On May 12, a community-building initiative, MyHometown Provo was formally launched with three goals:

• Strengthen individuals through education;

• Build neighborhood friendships through service and social interaction;

• Assist neighbors in improving homes and properties

​

My Hometown Provo recognizes that a healthy hometown focuses not only on exterior appearance, but also on improving relationships and resiliency inside the home by offering opportunities for learning and relationship-building at the Community Resource Center (CRC).

We need to know our neighbors, we need to engage in community, and we need to take care of each other. Provo has capable and willing residents, who when given the resources, will build their own healthy hometown.

​

This program reminds us of what it means to truly build a community, from the ground up and face-to-face—creating a One Provo—where all feel united by community pride, love of neighbor regardless of differences and striving to improve Provo from our own corner of it.

The secret to MyHometown is the people: the neighbors, the service missionaries, non-profit groups who are working with us side-by-side, members of all faiths or those with none, and Provo City, all combining strengths and resources, working together for the betterment of all. When it is all said and done, My Hometown is loving and serving our neighbors and doing so will bring about miracles, it already has.
