January 15, 2026
As a Community Member for over 20 years, I am proud to call this Valley my home. What a wonderful place to raise my children, grow my business and explore the great outdoors. Over these many years I have been a volunteer and board member for several nonprofits.
By volunteering I have found amazing friendships and gained a true understanding of what our Valley is all about. 2026 is a great time to consider donating time to a worthy cause in our community.
This year, consider donating your time to one of the many deserving organizations in our area. It’s a wonderful way to get involved. For a sample list of nonprofits go to CFOV.net. (Community Foundation of the Ogden Valley)
If you are lacking time, might you consider a tax-deductible donation? CFOV.net to donate to the nonprofit of your choice.

Ogden Valley has always been a place where community comes first, and volunteering and giving back are woven into the fabric of daily life here. As we move toward incorporation, now is one of the most important times to put extra care and love into the people, organizations, and traditions that make this valley so special. Supporting local nonprofits, showing up for community events, lending a hand to a neighbor, or volunteering time and talents helps ensure Ogden Valley grows thoughtfully while preserving the character we all cherish. The choices we make now—how we give, serve, and support one another—will help shape a strong, connected community for generations to come.- Rosie
