Looking to find ways you can become involved in efforts to clean up our neighborhood? On June 6th, beginning at 9am, SEND will host the 1st annual Neighborhood Day of Service. SEND will be coordinating a community-wide volunteer effort to give back to the residents by focusing not just on one specific location, but our entire southeast area. The goal of this endeavor is to empower neighborhood associations, churches, schools and businesses to address some of the beautification objectives in our community. Whichever projects residents feel would benefit the most from this collaborative effort, SEND will assist in accomplishing these tasks.
“Our goal for the SEND Day of Service is to provide an opportunity for the SEND family to get out into the neighborhood and give back to the people that live here. It is an opportunity for us to come together and impact the entire SEND area, rather than just one location,” states Julie Beaubien, Vice President of SEND and Coordinator of the SEND Day of Service. Throughout the year, SEND coordinates several clean-up efforts with volunteers stepping out to show their support and dedication in further enhancing our community. Beaubien continues, “SEND appreciates the many volunteers that commit their time and resources into making the programs at SEND a success, and this is a way to turn the table and allow us to volunteer for the neighborhood.”
SEND board members and volunteers will be visiting neighborhood association meetings over the next month to further discuss this project. Interested individuals and groups should plan on meeting on June 6th, 9am in the National City parking lot to get started. The clean-up will continue until 12pm, where all volunteers will meet back at the National City parking lot for lunch and to share stories of the day’s success. For further information and to learn how you can become involved, please contact Julie Beaubien at julie@sendcdc.org or 317-634-5079 x105.
