A Neighborhood Cares Day at Brooks-Shaw Methodist Temple on October 8th, 2022
On Saturday, October 8th, 2022, the Mayor’s Neighborhood Engagement Office (NEO) held another installment of the Neighborhood Cares Initiative, this time in Hollygrove-Dixon at Brooks-Shaw Methodist Temple.
Over 30 volunteers spent the morning cleaning the community, collecting over 60 trash bags and over dozen bulk items. Volunteers helped paint 12 rain barrels, which will stay in the Hollygrove-Dixon Community.
City departments patched over 100 potholes, cut 29 overgrown lots, and cleared dumping sites throughout the neighborhood.
At the community resource fair, 16 city agencies and nonprofits engaged residents and provided them with useful information. Dozens of residents received vaccinations.
Free food and music were enjoyed by all.
