1 million lbs of garbage removed!

Our Community Beautification team has cleaned up 1 million lbs of garbage in the last 13 months! That means sidewalks, camps where our unhoused neighbors reside, parks, roads, and more are all cleaner and safer. This is such an exciting milestone, and what makes it even more impressive is that our team has done it all with compassion - providing meals and water to those who need it, focusing on workforce development for our unhoused neighbors, and building relationships with everyone. Check out this video to get a glimpse of what 1 million lbs of compassionate garbage removal looks like.
