Our activities include meeting to clean the streets, planting vegetation, and restoring abandoned houses. We dedicate our time and effort into making Philly a beautiful and eco-friendly city. Fundraisers are held solely to benefit the city in establishing proper soil for implanting gardens and purchasing proper cleaning supplies and paints for remodeling. Most importantly, we desire to educate Philadelphia to improve the quality of the city and maintain a beautiful community. Our goal is to challenge ourselves as well as the community to strive for a better Philadelphia. Show less
