Hundreds of residents and team leaders gathered to beautify and clean Yucaipa in city-wide service projects.The three hiatus was due to budgetary restraints in the city of Yucaipa. The city council spent a good portion of its Sept. 28 council meeting discussing who should pay for the annual event. Ultimately, the council unanimously approved the event. Much of the cost was absorbed by locals and businesses.City staff explained that the city had worked with community members and representatives from the Trails and Open Space Committee, Healthy Yucaipa Committee and Park and Recreation Commission to form a Make a Difference Day Committee.The day was perfect, according to hundreds of volunteers.Yucaipa City Manager Dr. Sean Moore concurred it was a great experience.“It was a wonderful and most awesome event to see all those volunteers out there. They were planting trees and shrubs,” he said. “It was a humbling event to me, to see many people committed to their city and beautifying and making it a better place to live.”Projects:• Iris plantings: Over 400 irises (Yucaipa’s official flower) were planted throughout the city.• Multiple schools: Valley Elementary and Inland Leaders Charter Schools featured various project and cleanup crews.• Park and trail improvements: Projects featured planting trees and shrubs (including 15 trees donated by Southern California Edison), trail marker installation and general park clean- up. Volunteers worked at several bike trails throughout the town.• Flag Hill Veterans Memorial Park: Flag Hill Park clean up included large tree plantings and overall community landscaping efforts.• Yucaipa Community Center: This included rock painting for the rock snake at the park and an elaborate milkweed seed bomb station for hikers to disperse. Allen, who helped encourage the city to bring the event back, was pleased.“The 2026 Make a Difference Day was a huge success including over 10-city- wide, volunteer driven events,” Allen said. “I want to personally thank the over 50 volunteers who showed up at Flag Hill Park to assist with the plant- ing of 15 15-gallon trees, over 150 irises and over 100 shrubs and ground cover. A special thank you to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Such an amazing group of hardworking and passionate volunteers! You all rock!”</div></body>
