Philadelphia, PA – On Saturday May 3rd, City Year, in partnership with the Northeast Frankford Boys & Girls Club and the Frankford High School Student Board, will lead a day-long community service project.  The day will take place at the Northeast Frankford Boys & Girls Club, which has been serving the community and its youth for sixty years.  On Saturday, over 85 volunteers will serve the club by cleaning and painting the facility, planting a garden, and creating 3 canvas murals.

The morning will begin with an opening program, which will highlight the importance of service and building communities.  The project will begin at 9:00 and run until 12:30.  Joining us in service will be the club’s Program Director Greg Taylor and the Unit Director Ninette Cooper.  It will be a day of fun, service and excitement. Please join us, everyone is welcome, and we would love to have you attend.

Frankford beautification still on the way

Jon Campisi reports for the Northeast Times:
