Clean up – Glass House Collective http://www.glasshousecollective.org Fri, 22 May 2020 14:55:26 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3 Glass Street Cleanup http://www.glasshousecollective.org/project/glass-street-cleanup/ Thu, 09 Jan 2014 01:07:54 +0000 http://jeremyhixon.com/sandbox/glasshousecollective/?post_type=project&p=2391 What happens when a community comes together around place? Pride, ownership and a sense of hope.

Organized in conjunction with Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise’s NeighborGood Week, the Glass Street Cleanup actively engaged residents in the process of image-making for their neighborhood. The idea was simple: set a date, rally some people, pick up trash. But for Glass Street, the result was profound: neighbors worked together, took ownership and cultivated pride in place—demonstrating a community-wide commitment to making the area safer, cleaner and more inviting. By helping individuals invest time, creativity and knowledge into their home, the cleanup unlocked and tapped a new sense of love and hope for Glass Street.

Outcome:
Engaged 15+ volunteers for the clean up.
