General Information

As the result of a Town Hall Meeting, the City Beautification Committee was formed in 1997. This
Committee has worked hard to improve the beauty of the city by planting flowers and installing
seasonal banners. A stone welcome marker was placed at the entrance to the city. Funding for their
projects is through a voluntary donation that is added to residents’ water bills.

The Keep Saginaw Beautiful Committee sponsors an “Adopt A Spot” program. All residents are
invited to adopt a spot or park in the city. They are asked to keep it clean, plant flowers, etc. If you
would like more information, call City Hall at (817) 232-4640.

There are churches of most denominations located in the community. Several of the churches have
“Mother’s Day Out” programs. The churches joined together and established the Community Link
Mission. The Mission provides food for those in need. Community Link Mission is located at 300 S.
Belmont Street (817-847-4554).
