G.I.V.E. (Getting Involved, Virginia Ave Efforts), Inc. This started out as a small block beautification project and grew into a new culture!

We plug the youth into volunteer work and teach and involve them to take care of the Bronx while developing social skills and learning job skills! After being laid off in the Winter, 2010 Nilka was inspired by doing volunteer work. We decided to start a block beautification project in our own neighborhood. It began with a vision, and flourished into the unimaginable: children and neighbors of diff

erent cultures gathering in an effort to clean up and maintain our neighborhood. Very special thank you to an awesome team:

Happy Friday!!!!! Tomorrow, Saturday, June 3, 2017, the Friends of Pelham Bay Park will be hosting their last Spring service project and we need YOU! Please read the details on the flyer below. We will be pulling out weeds, so please dress appropriately (no shorts, no flip flops, bring them in your bag if you wish to stay in the beach). Meet us in the parking lot, by the entrance of the only staircase. The staircase is pretty huge, and large to miss! We will be there promptly at 10am. If you aren't familiar with the area, please google it, and get an idea. If you are driving, you need to email me today, so you can get the parking fee waived, [email protected] See you tomorrow!!!

Happy Tuesday! Tomorrow is our fundraising deadline and we are still $940 shy from reaching our goal. We need 94 folks who understand the importance of the restoration of the river, and its use as a resource for community building, to dig deep in their pockets and donate $10. All monies will go towards the Bronx River Alliance's free community paddling program. It isn't a huge ask, and we believe that collectively we can reach our goal. Thanking you all in advance! https://www.firstgiving.com/team/350022

Though we have evolved to Loving the Bronx, our humble beginnings are always a joy to share. Yesterday we were able to share our story at the American Planning Association conference. I absolutely love that I see two of our volunteers on the big screen!
