Pangea Cares Beautifies Chicago Neighborhoods in June
Summary
They also built a new edge and fence around the front walkway between the sidewalk and the street, adding mulch to the area too.Pangea Operations Manager, Kelsey Lake, was glad when Pangea Cares found a new place to volunteer. “We were thrilled to work with a new partner, South Merrill Community Gardens, as it sits so closely to many of our communities.” Lake then added, “We look forward to working with them again in the future!” Since the volunteer day, the garden has already been the host to an ongoing art project and a senior chair exercise class.The next week, Pangea Cares joined Eco House – a nonprofit they have partnered with in the past – to help beautify Vernon Park Gardens on the 6000 block of South Vernon. “I love going back to Vernon Park Gardens to see how our volunteer work has helped to keep the space running and looking great over the years.”Finally, the next two Wednesdays – the 16th and 23rd – Pangea Cares spent time adding to the curb appeal of some of the buildings Pangea manages across the south and west sides of Chicago. Over 20 volunteers showed up over the two days, and some Pangea residents even joined in to plant flowers and clean up the front walks and entryways.Pangea Cares is glad to be able to gather volunteers together again and plan regular events to support the Chicago, Indianapolis, and Baltimore communities.About Pangea Properties:Pangea Properties is a Chicago-based private real estate investment trust founded in 2008 by Al Goldstein to provide quality, affordable housing.
