Community association members

and neighborhood watch groups will help pick up paper, trim grass from

curbs, sweep sidewalks and perform other chores to help beautify the area.

Workers will meet at Jefferson

Place to receive cleaning supplies, such as brooms, shovels, rakes and

plastic bags. A picnic will be held there after the cleanup.

"The men pass through

these streets every day and wanted to do something to show that they care,"

says Wayne Scruggs, manager of the Emergency and Transitional Housing

division of Human Services. "We take pride in this community and

want to share it with our neighbors."

Jefferson Place provides emergency

shelter and detoxification services for homeless men, plus long-term transitional

housing with supportive services that help them become self-sufficient.

404-874-0412.
