Eight years ago we were crazy enough to believe we could change our community for the better and we have and we are still working at it.
We have been able to show residents change is possible through our volunteer efforts which included
bringing residents together on a monthly basis to listen, give hope, and share little victories because of our volunteer giving of our time and energy as well as host fun community events.
Volunteerism opened the door for us build great partnerships that has enabled us to.
- renovate a block of vacant row homes to affordable, beautiful living spaces;
- transform a neglected community park to a world class model;
- keep crime and dumping down with regularly scheduled community cleanups and dumpster days;
- convert vacant lots into beautiful gardens:
- Enhance our walls with vibrant colorful mural art installations, and
- build a 60 unit affordable apartment building in our community and we are not done yet!
Please answer the call for volunteers, together we can do great things for our Johnston Square Community!
Sincerely
