Together, we can bring positive change to
San Francisco.
District 4 Supervisor Gordon
Mar helped kick off the monthly
Community Clean Team event
at Lincoln High School before
volunteers got to work. Friends
of La Playa Park teamed up
with young volunteers from
Mission Neighborhood Centers
to weed and remove dead plants
at the community-developed
and Public Works-supported
street park at Judah and
La Playa streets, while
volunteers from Tzu Chi
Foundation, a loyal Community
Clean Team partner, pruned,
weeded and mulched the 48th
Avenue median near Ocean
Beach.
There were lots of
weeds to clear at the
mini-park at Judah
and La Playa streets.
Public Works’ own construction
management team employees
didn’t want to miss out on an
opportunity to give back to our
community on their day off,
coming out with their families
to pick up litter on the high
school football field, clear weeds
and spread mulch along the
Sunset Boulevard median and
paint out graffiti on utility posts
in along Taraval Street. Other
volunteers worked up a sweat
in the oft-foggy neighborhood
sprucing up the popular Great
Highway promenade.
Our corporate partner,
Recology, which has been with
the Community Clean Team
since the program began 19
years ago, offered free household
bulky items and e-waste drop-
off services to residents in
District 4 to help San Francisco
reach its goal of zero waste by
2020.
Each month, Community Clean
Team focuses on a different
supervisorial district. On July 20,
we’ll be in the Mission, Bernal
Heights and other District 9
neighborhoods, with the kickoff
at John O’Connell High School.
We hope to see you and your
team there. Together, we can
bring positive change to San
Francisco.
