Missouri celebrates local government officials and employees during Missouri Local Government Week May 5-11, 2024. This week is an ideal time to thank your local officials and local government employees for their dedication to keeping your community vibrant.

Working together, your cities, counties and schools are the backbone of your community.

Local Government Is…

  • The first responders who willingly walk into danger to protect your community.
  • The paramedics whose ambulances arrive within minutes to save lives every day.
  • Law enforcement bringing security and safety.
  • Your municipal utilities bringing clean water to your home and facilitating sanitary sewer collection. 
  • Officials taking steps for resilience and recovery in your community.
  • Safe and reliable transportation.
  • Convenient and reliable trash service.
  • Your friends and neighbors serving on the school board setting a direction for the next school year. 

Take time this week to thank your local government champions who work tirelessly to strengthen your community. Post on social media how local government affects your daily life and ensures your community runs smoothly! Use the hashtag #molocagov.

The week is sponsored by the following local government organizations:
