Just three weeks ago, on Saturday May 7th the Believe in Syracuse Southside Team met at the Southside Innovation Center to clean up the abandoned parking lot on the corner of S. Salina and Brighton and the 3 blocks of Brighton Avenue between S. Salina and Midland. The neighbors stepped outside their doors to learn more about Believe in Syracuse Southside Team and our beautification initiative. We learned so much from the neighbors and found that a lot of the trash, litter and debris doesn’t come from them but people who live elsewhere. For example drivers who pass through the block of Brighton Ave throw their garbage out of the window of their cars. One neighbor said “I used to pick it up but you get tired of picking up other peoples’ mess”, “they don’t even live here”. The cleanup crew had an opportunity to speak with a couple of the members from the Masonic Lodge on Brighton about the initiative and discussed possible collaborative work efforts on the project. How exciting is that. We are all about doing it TOGETHER… Meeting the neighbors and the children in the community joining us was a great indicator that the community members are open to service and building in their own neighborhoods. This Beautification initiative is a part of the Believe in Syracuse Community Organizing Program. Our team is a coalition of Southside residents, volunteers and members of Believe in Syracuse from the Greater Syracuse area. We are certainly open to cleaning other parts of the city so please come join us at our next meeting to hear more of what who we are and what we do. Consistency is key to success and we will keep this going as long as WE have YOU to be a part of the WE. Together let’s Make a Difference!
