BROCKTON--Volunteers are needed to participate in a neighborhood clean-up Saturday, June 25 in the Campello section of Brockton.
The event will begin at 28 Sheppard St. at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, June 25.
“Events like these build momentum in the community, and foster a sense of ownership among neighbors,” said Mayor Linda M. Balzotti in a prepared statement.
“By working together to beautify their neighborhood, residents are also making personal connections,” she said.
Volunteers will receive supplies donated by Home Depot and begin cleaning up a vacant lot and adjacent streets in the Campello area.
“The Brockton Housing Authority, Mayor Balzotti, the Brockton Redevelopment Authority and BIC have made the revitalization of Campello a high priority,” said Housing Authority Executive Director Richard Sergi.
“This clean-up is our way of telling Campello residents that they count,” he said.
Last year’s event, which started on Tribou Street, was successful because residents not only participated, but followed up on their own, said Sergi.
“The clean-up is a great way to bring neighborhood residents together to complete a project that will have a direct positive impact on their lives,” said Marc Resnick, Executive Director of the Brockton Redevelopment Authority.
“It also helps to promote healthy neighborhoods and also supports other efforts in the area," he said.
A celebration barbeque will follow the clean-up.
The clean-up co-sponsored by: the Office of Mayor Linda M. Balzotti; the Brockton Redevelopment Authority, the Brockton Housing Authority; Self Help, Inc.; Neighborhood Housing Services of the South Shore; the Cape Verdean Association; Brockton Interfaith Community, Walgreens; and Home Depot.
For more information about the clean-up, or to volunteer, call Self Help at 508-588-4049.
