Will Hawkins & Benita Sinnarajah | DC Public Schools Beautification day is next Saturday, August 25. This is a great project where we will be involved in a number of tasks to "spruce up" Tyler Elementary before the first day of school. If you are interested in participating, contact the Service Directors- dcyp.service@gmail.com.
DCYP Kiwanis participated in the "gleaning" project with the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) last month. Together, we helped collect a total of 4,550 pounds of fresh produce that was then donated to local residents in need of food assistance. We hope to glean again before the end of the season so watch for more details coming soon! A big thank you to everyone who helped harvest produce, even in the rain! See a photo of the fun below.
