Students from the University at Buffalo and St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute paired up with neighborhood resident and President of the University Heights Collaborative Dave Ellerbrock to clean up litter throughout the neighborhood. The volunteers hit streets between Englewood and Main& Kenmore, filling up close to ten large sized trash bags.
The effort, part of an ongoing joint undertaking between the University and the community. If you would like to volunteer and work with other volunteers to clean up your streets, contact the University at 829-3541.
It is great for our neighborhood to receive this kind of help from students and others. Thank you to UB, St. Joe's and the UHC. It's just unfortunate that such efforts are often a "band-aid" for the larger problems that exist.
