CITY WIDE CLEAN UP
Presented by the INTERFAITH COUNCIL and CITY OF GILROY
On the morning of Saturday April 26 something strange was going on in Gilroy . People of all ages , denominations and backgrounds came together and “ worked ” on Gilroy . Project co-coordinator Rachelle Bendell estimated after the event that about 426 volunteers painted , repaired , planted , mulched , landscaped , cleaned , sewed quilts , gave out flowers and generally made Gilroy a better place to be .
The Interfaith Council and the City of Gilroy were the main co-sponsors . City staff was out in force helping and directing the participants . Many volunteer groups consisted of whole families . The morning of service wrapped up with a BBQ at Christmas Hill Park for volunteers and city staff .
