The Apalachicola Community Pride Partnership Program is calling for volunteers to help with a wide variety of community projects aimed at fostering a sense of ownership, belonging, and pride within our community.
To accomplish this important task, we need a group of volunteers from every neighborhood within the City.
At present, we are targeting two distinct projects:
First, we are looking at implementing an Adopt-A-Block program and we need block Captains and a crew to canvass the neighborhood in which they reside to identify overgrown lots, dilapidated buildings, abandon vehicles and other infrastructure problems that exist and to report the findings back to the overall group at the monthly Community Pride Meetings.
Secondly, we need volunteers of all ages to participate in the development of a community garden to be located off 8th Street where the old City trailer park used to sit. The community garden will give residents the opportunity to reflect on their shared and individual experiences and provide an environment where understanding and friendship can grow as well as flowers, fruits, and vegetables.
For more information on the activities of the Apalachicola Community Pride Partnership Program, contact Betty Taylor-Webb, City Administrator at 653-9319 or email apalachadmin@fairpoint.net.
