On a Sunday morning, Chris Sarantos and other community volunteers participated in a neighborhood cleanup near Manny's, addressing litter where city funds fell short. The streets, including Caledonia and Julian Avenue, showed signs of care from residents. Despite some areas remaining littered, community members gathered in public spaces, enjoying the atmosphere. The northeast 16th Street plaza featured a mix of spiritual readings and local food vendors, highlighting the community's resilience and engagement amid cleanup efforts, reflecting a dedication to improving their neighborhood.
Chris Sarantos emphasized the importance of community involvement by saying, "Just meeting people and helping out in the neighborhood. If the city is not allocating enough funds to picking up trash, it's good to step in if we can."
The northeast 16th Street plaza showcased a vibrant community atmosphere with a woman reading religious passages while food vendors offered various local delicacies and produce.
