A strong back is a terrible thing to waste–that’s why I will be donating mine on Saturday, April 28 to clean, sweep or replenish up to 15 neighborhood lots in Bridgeport CT USA. Many people will be joining me (be the next to volunteer). Hard work never hurt me–I’m a shovel-ready dude who’s even bringing his own shovel.
It’s all being done under the auspices of Groundwork Bridgeport. Volunteer here:
