Glenwood Residents Play Key Role in Organizing Community-Wide "Day of Service"

On a warm spring day, over 800 volunteers from 20 local churches participated in 115 property improvement projects across 8 neighborhoods during the East Chattanooga "Day of Service".  The Glenwood core leadership played a key role in organizing the event which started as a neighborhood clean-up in collaboration with the Church of Latter Day Saints which had contacted the neighborhood to organize a service event.  Seizing on the opportunity provided by the number of volunteers offered by the primary sponsoring church, Glenwood resident leaders decided to collaborate with the East Side Task Force to broaden the project's scope to include 7 other neighborhoods.  Blood Assurance was also a key project underwriter, providing support for a portion of the project's costs.  Community Impact provided financial support through GNA to cover Glenwood property improvement costs during the event.
