Model Neighborhood Clean-up A Huge Success!

TTF would like to give a huge THANK YOU to the amazing, motivated Model Neighborhood residents who turned out on Saturday morning for a great day of street cleaning, porch painting, and illegal dumping prevention.

We’d also like to thank the City of Philadelphia for donating supplies, Wawa and Fresh Grocer for donating food, Reverend Williams and the Chew and Belfield Neighborhood Club for their support and the Philadelphia Water Department’s Waterways Restoration Team for their time, manpower, machines and general awesomeness. With their help, we were able to remove tons of trash from the lot at the corner of Clearview and Tulpehocken Streets. In addition, Clearview Street residents came out to beautify their street by painting their porches and railings, cleaning the street and removing graffiti.

Here are some fun photos from the day:
