Community Clean-Up

The community cleanup was a great service opportunity to benefit the community of South Memphis. In total we filled over 20 bags of trash. Our service to the community cleanup of South Memphis will help benefit the people living there as many of the people living there are unable to take care of their property. Having a clean yard/environment makes me feel productive/accomplished so I'm sure it has the same effect on the citizens of South Memphis as well. We worked in pairs of two to pick up the trash, one person holding the bag and one grabbing trash. I believe that working in pairs was very beneficial as it is the most effective way to pick up trash and requires the use of teamwork. I learned about how different the environment was in South Memphis as opposed to where I live in Cordova. I was very surprised about the amount of trash just sitting off the road and in people yards. I plan to definitely volunteer again as this organization is great and helps to benefit the community of South Memphis.
