With nice weather to work in, area residents came out this past Saturday morning for a cleanup project.

Nineteen people participated from the El Cerrito Community Council, the Colina Neighborhood Group, Terry Hoskins’ campaign, Teen Challenge, and the D-9 City Council Office. Those in attendance cleaned up both sides of 54th Street between Trojan and University Avenues as well as the Colina Recreation Center along Orange Avenue.

All help was appreciated, as free donuts and coffee were provided. Participants were given gloves, trash bags, grabbers, and safety vests were provided.

With community support, organizers will reportedly make it a monthly event.
