Love Your Neighbor Fall Community Cleanup.
So much love was shared!
It wasn’t the most accommodating weather for the two days…in fact, it was downright cold. But we went anyway. This past November 4th and 5th, we hosted the first-ever “Love Your Neighbor Community Fall Cleanup!” In the Whittier District. And we went over budget 😱
On Day One, we raked, cut down massive trees, and saved a woman’s family homestead. Sadly, the family home faced imminent risk by a tree her father planted in the backyard in 1950. So we had to cut it down. It was a bittersweet moment. We are so honored we were able to be there with her. Then we cleaned up her yard!
On Day Two, we did it again! One of our families had a husband and father in the hospital due to a serious workplace injury that rendered him disabled. There are no words; cleaning up around their place was one of the coolest experiences ever!
We picked up dumpster after dumpster of garbage and debris from neighborhood yards, we fixed fences, and pulled weeds.
TWENTY-FOUR HOMES
OVER 18 HOURS

What a radical blessing it was to play a role in 12 blocks of Whittier District!
THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS!!!
