This is what caring neighbors do...

Chloe Frances serves on our board and on the housing committee. She's attended meeting after meeting, gone to testify and continues to ensure that the right people are informed. Today KCTV5 News Kansas City covered the story, check it out

If you want to be a caring neighbor, get engaged!

Months later, the buildings still sit wide open with no fence and windows and doors left unboarded.

Remember, this isn't just a time to drop off your bulky items. Contact your neighborhood association to ask how you can connect with other volunteers to pick up trash in the community. Tires, mattresses, bags of litter and other items need to be moved to the dump sites. It takes a village to keep our community clean. Do your part to help out!
