Georgia Works is keeping EAV clean! Thanks to joint efforts between EACA/EABA and District 5, this project is underway and will continue as long as funds can be secured. 

Update from Steve of GA Works:

"Our efforts produced 3 trash bags and one scrap tire removed for recycling. Heavy focus on sweeping and picking up cigarette butts. Glass sweeping in lots performed. Portland Ave trash cleaned from Joseph Ave to Brownwood Ave. EAV Farmers Market lot required attention."

What is Georgia Works? A program with the goal of ending homelessness, criminal recidivism, and dependency through programs aimed at personal development in good habits, work ethic and character. The ultimate goal is self sufficiency. Participants are provided shelter and transitional work as they renounce dependency and remain drug and alcohol free.

Next time you spot them cleaning up EAV, give them a shout of encouragement!  

This effort would not be possible without donations from District 5, EABA, East Atlanta Santa and community members. Please consider a donation to help support this program as we continue to work towards the ultimate goal of year-round funded clean-ups.  READ MORE + DONATE
