Youth Works and Volunteers of America clean up the neighborhood!

Today's Youth Works group helped clean up our neighborhood. We teamed up with Devin and Aaron from Youth and Family Services' (YFS) Fatherhood First and went out into the world. We started at Volunteers of America and three teams spread out to collect trash along Roosevelt Park and around the Prairie Market grocery store.We got permission from the city to clean up the area and put all the trash we collected in to approved bins around the areas where we worked.

Aaron from YFS was in my group. We went down to the park to collect around the pond, and then walked back to Mommy's Closet along the road behind the swim center collecting bottles and cups, gum wrappers and cigarette butts along the way. We added our full trash bags to the collection bin at the ball field. 

What a great group! Thanks, guys!
