Whether for community service hours or just to help out our non-profit organization that runs on volunteer power- consider volunteering for our clean up campaign in North Lawndale. We begin with our own garden- raking up debris and taking care of messes. Then we move to the outside of the fence- picking up litter, raking up leaves, removing tree limbs & trash. Next we spread out and pick up litter along the sidewalks & streets in all four directions from our building to aid in the beautification of the neighborhood.
Won't you join us? We have years of experience helping people obtain their community service and service learning hours. School groups are also welcome!
Volunteers are needed to pick up litter & clean up vacant lots beginning at 1957 S. Spaulding at corner of 21st street. Two blocks west of the Kedzie stop on pink line.
Plan to pick up litter in the area, clean up vacant lots.
We will provide community service hours & service learning hours with a letter showing your contribution.
School groups are also welcome!
Contact us. We will respond quickly. Plan on it!
sincerely, Director, Dianna C. Long
