Celebrate Citrus Heights Volunteers:

Nominate a Community Champion!

The City of Citrus Heights is excited to launch the Chip-In Hall of Fame Award, a new program recognizing residents who go above and beyond to make a difference in our community. Whether through beautification efforts, acts of kindness, or volunteer service, these individuals selflessly give back without expecting recognition—but truly deserve it!

Starting March 12, residents can submit nominations for outstanding community members, with honorees recognized throughout the year. The celebration will culminate at the Volunteer Appreciation Reception on April 23, 2025, where all nominees will be honored, and the award recipient will be announced.

Know someone making a positive impact in Citrus Heights? Nominate them and help us celebrate those who Chip In! Visit here for more information.
