Clean & Green Service Day

Mayor Daley asked the city of Chicago to help out on April 17th by committing to service for Clean & Green. In an effort to clean-up the McKinley Park neighborhood, youth from the Blessed Sacrament Teen Center came out to help for the day.


Teens helped at the local parishes, Our Lady of Good Counsel, St. Maurice, and Sts. Peter and Paul where they raked the grounds and put down mulch. Some went to the McKinley Park library where they raked, picked up trash, and helped with pruning some trees and bushes. Others cleaned up an empty lot in the neighborhood that was in need of some help.  The clean-up is a yearly tradition and youth are always happy to help.
