Help Clear a Drainage Ditch for a Neighborhood
We’re looking for caring volunteers to join CODE CARES for a neighborhood project that will make a real difference. The neighborhood has a drainage ditch that accumulated branches and litter over time. We're going to help. Volunteers will help remove wood debris and junk clogging a drainage ditch along the back alley, improving safety, drainage, and neighborhood conditions.
This project is conducted in partnership with Garland Code Compliance.
