Long Overdue, cont.

October's Second Saturday was rained out and as a result, cancelled. However, this did not dampen our resolve to do something good for the city in that month. Instead, on October 19, one week after our original plan to do a cleanup, we helped do a groundbreaking day for a new community garden and public space in Cadwalader Place neighborhood in the West Ward.

November's Second Saturday took place on November 9 at an old nameless (as far as I know) rail trail which runs between Ewing and Trenton. As such, we worked with member of the Ewing Green Team to bring out a variety of TCNJ students, Ewing high school Robotics Team members, and other volunteers to clean the old trail of fallen limbs, overgrown brush and dumped litter. It was a great Autumn day to be in to be the woods and the weather was fantastic. Thanks to all the volunteers who came out for the day!

As I've been trying to beef up the viewership of the Trenton Cities of Service Facebook page, I have obviously neglected this blog. So to catch up, I have a few pictures to post from the past few months of service projects that we have had a hand in. For a recap of our work on September 11 Day of Service, we worked with central and north Jersey AmeriCorps members and students from TCNJ's International House to beautify downtown Trenton through various projects.




9/11 Day of Service volunteers

Assisted by leaders from Isles, Trenton Downtown Association, and SAGE Coalition, volunteers spent their morning planting fall plants, building a fence, installing signs, and doing general cleanup work along the D&R Canal Trail.
