NCI: Pines Village
On Saturday, March 9th, the Mayor's Neighborhood Engagement Office (NEO) held the first Neighborhood Cares Initiative Community Day of 2024 in the Pines Village neighborhood at Digby Park.
Over 75 volunteers spent the morning revitalizing the community, collecting over 100 trash bags and over a dozen bulk items.
City departments patched over 60 potholes, cleaned catch basins, cut over 21 overgrown lots, trimmed/removed over 20 trees/invasive plants, and cleared dumping sites throughout the neighborhood.
At the community resource fair, over 16 city agencies and nonprofits engaged residents and provided them with useful information. Free food, free snowballs, and music were enjoyed by residents.
Additionally, Thrive New Orleans gave away dozens of articles of brand-new clothing and Giving Hope NOLA gave away 100 bags of free groceries.
