October 1st, 2007 · 1 Comment

The Doe Fund is bringing its clean up crews to Seventh Avenue in Park Slope. City Council Member Bill de Blasio is making the announcement today; he arranged for $34,250 in the city budget for the project. The clean up will take place from Fourth Street south to Prospect Avenue. (Sorry, Third Street and north…)

The Doe Fund also works Church Avenue between Dahill Road and Coney Island Avenue and they’ve been doing work in Coney Island among many other places. It’s a non-profit that “empowers people to break the cycles of homelessness, incarceration, and welfare
dependency through paid-work programs, supportive services and housing. Ready, Willing & Able their residential, work and job skills training program which helps homeless individuals in their efforts to become self-sufficient.”
