Community partners have increasingly asked for our assistance with community development projects, driving up the number of volunteer opportunities and service projects we are able to complete. Community development projects include painting curbs, playground equipment and retaining walls; cleaning up common areas; removing graffiti; digging swales; mitigating erosion and runoff into area waterways; planting trees and clearing overgrowth. Community development projects impact many residents. They improve the health and well-being of residents by revitalizing public areas, removing blight, improving water quality and generally giving residents improved access to public areas and a better sense of well-being and safety.
