Empowering People - Building Community - Beautifying Our City

It’s Working!

Paraphrasing Newton’s Law, “what’s in motion stays in motion”--when people have the opportunity to be productive in positive ways, they are receptive and more likely to take further steps, if available, toward productive and positive lives.

By listening to and learning from them, we can be there to direct them towards the many resources (partners) that are available, when they are ready, including housing and full time employment. 

Building Community

Members of the city’s government,  the parks department, and neighborhood coalitions began to partner with us after recognizing the work being done resulted in cleaner areas and noticing the positive effect it was having on the entire community.

Beautifying Our City

We are currently conducting fourteen daily cleanups in parks, city streets, and community areas. In addition, we have held over 20 group cleanups focused on cleaning entire sections of our city.  We have provided our participants with over 3,800 stipends and gifts.
