Kitchen Pail Distribution
Join us and pick up your free kitchen pail! These pails are a simple way to start reducing food waste at home while supporting a cleaner, greener community. To make your green bin work for everyone, just follow three simple steps: place one layer of cardboard, dry leaves, or grass clippings, then deposit your kitchen scraps from the pail. This helps prevent rapid decomposition and the growth of maggots—keeping your bin clean and effective
Dia de los Muertos
Our Día de los Muertos celebration is a joyful and meaningful tribute to Latino culture, honoring both heritage and community. The event will feature vibrant music, performances, and activities that invite families to create crafts, explore the symbolism of ofrendas, and deepen their understanding of this cherished tradition. More than a cultural showcase, it is a gathering designed to strengthen neighborhood connections, inspire pride, and foster unity. By coming together to honor our ancestors, we not only celebrate our roots but also build a safer, more vibrant future for our community.
