Allen Neighborhood Center | Community Resources

Project Description

Eastside Day of Service, Community Resources! - Our neighborhood is unique in that 25% of our residents are new to the neighborhood each year. This means that we're constantly reeducating our neighbors on the services that we provide, and given that we're a small staff, having groups of volunteers put flyers on doors is a crucial way for our neighbors to learn about us. Volunteers are given bright vests that clearly identify that they work with us and are not expected to knock doors; just to place flyers on a door if they feel it is safe to do so.

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
