United Way partner, North Riverside CDC, and Pastor Tony Bell understand that neighborhood blight creates deep negative impacts on afflicted communities. Blighted properties can decrease surrounding property values, undermine the health of local housing markets, pose safety hazards, and reduce local tax revenue. For residents, living in blighted areas can lead to increased stress, lower quality of life, and diminished community pride.
For MLK Day of Service, volunteers are needed to clean up McDuff Ave. corridor in North RIverside. Help remove litter and debris and tame overgrowth to enhance the living environment for residents in this vulnerable neighborhood. Street beautification projects are more than aesthetics; they're about fostering pride, dignity, and a sense of community. Your hands can make North Riverside thrive.
