It was 103 degrees on July 24th but even heat cant stop people with a goal!
The Alternative Learning Center, a middle school & Gwynn Oak United Methodist Church in Baltimore hosted a community event to paint a mural and build a community garden in a vacant lot behind the church.
The good folks at Civic Grind brought the event to our attention and several ladies from Gypsy Soul answered the call for volunteers to help with this incredible project. Onsite volunteers consisted of Civic Grind, Gypsy Soul, Heal A Woman to Heal A Nation. LovElution, Ameri Corps, and others from the neighborhood.
We all got down and dirty with paint & plants! New friendships were formed and coalitions created...
Several icees, ice cold water, and great company kept the heat off of our minds as we created something beautiful.
