Saturday Walks

  • St. Mary's Greek Orthodox Church North Parking (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Walk the neighborhood as a community! The goal of these walks is to build bonds and send a strong signal that this community is working together to keep itself taken care of and safe. We will also clean litter as we walk. Any volunteers will receive a free Community Safety Shirt and knit cap.

Statistically over time crime does tend to fall in neighborhoods with this practice, though this will not have an immediate impact on crime. There is no silver bullet to defeating the challenges our community faces, so every little bit we can do helps! If you are interested or have questions about the Safety Walks, feel free to reach out to David Ratner.
