JC Breakfast Optimists
A recently organized group called JC Proud led by Sam Yoskowitz, Ron Johnson and Ricardo Gutierrez have a goal to help their neighbors and the city by picking up trash or assisting others with cleaning up their property. Although JC Proud has only been in place for a few months. The groups target is litter and blight.
JC Proud meets once a month to organize the areas of town that need to be focused on for cleanup. Then volunteers within the group are either assigned or choose the way they can contribute. Ron Johnson stated that, “the City has been helpful by providing trash bags, rakes, gloves, brooms and any other items to be used” for the clean ups.
