HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — Dream Center Evansville is inviting the community to help clean up the Jacobsville neighborhood for Spring Love Your Neighbor Day.
Event organizers say they will be focusing on beautification of the Jacobsville neighborhood. Organizers go on to say donuts and coffee will be served before the cleanup starts.
'We are so excited to bring people from across the city to make Jacobsville a better place,' said Assistant Director of Public Relations and Marketing Meredith Hagerty. 'At Dream Center Evansville we focus on helping Jacobsville families, neighbors, and youth thrive.'
Those looking to volunteer can do so by clicking here. Volunteer work will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., but volunteers should plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early at 1516 N Main Street to complete registration.
In addition to the cleanup, Dream Center Evansville is working on other projects for the betterment of the neighborhood. Below are those projects.
A project focused on helping those struggling with housing in Jacobsville. A beloved neighbor passed recently and in his honor, the Dream Center will be passing out meals and supplies to those struggling with housing.
Neighborhood association president, Melissa Tines, and her family have started an initiative called Flower Power. Saturday, volunteers will leave a flower on every Jacobsville doorstep.
Dream Center Evansville serves Delaware Elementary. They will be partnering with the school to clean up their courtyard.
Jacobsville is a Superfund site designated by the federal government, meaning it has an ongoing lead exposure issue in our neighborhood. In partnership with IUSM, Vanderburgh County Health Department and the EPA they will be spreading mulch around several different homes in Jacobsville to help remediate lead issues and exposure.
