Volunteers are key to the effort
Apr 28, 2021
On a recent afternoon, groups of people carrying garbage bags could be seen moving through downtown Fort Dodge and a couple of other spots in town. As they moved, they gradually filled those bags with every piece of litter they found.
That Thursday afternoon cleanup effort was the annual FOD Walk. For 15 years, the effort organized by the Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance has made our community a bit cleaner.
The endeavor was started by Rhonda Chambers, the director of aviation at Fort Dodge Regional Airport who once led the alliance’s Image Committee. She relied on her professional background to create it. FOD is an aviation acronym that stands for Foreign Object and Debris. FOD Walks are conducted at civilian and military airfields to remove anything from the runways that might damage a plane. In some cases, airfield personnel will stand shoulder to shoulder and walk down the runway looking for things..
Monday was a milestone day at the Fort Dodge Regional Airport as the first SkyWest plane landed, beginning daily United Express jet service to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Airport Manager, Rhonda Chambers, hosted a ribbon cutting and detailed how this service opens a window to the entire world on an airline that has put safety first during the pandemic.
