Outside clean up of the grounds of the Shalom Zone and behind the school in the back field. Volunteers working in this project should bring lawn tools including weed cutters, hedge trimmers and other outdoor tools to be used for the jobs outside.

Shalom Executive Director, PJ Davis said,”We welcome the entire community to become involved.” “In the Shalom model we believe everyone has talents and welcome them to bring their talents to give back to the community and become active.”
