According to the University of Washington’s College of Environment, calls to police were down
20% in neighborhoods were they did clean ups (see link below).
If you would like to work with SOC to coordinate a clean up on your block, neighborhood, vacant lot, or park – contact the SOC office at (414) 672-8090 or SOC@SOCmilwaukee.org.
SOC can help you:
- organize the clean up,
- get equipment and supplies,
- partner with other neighbors and community members like businesses and organizations,
- and get thank you gifts for participants (as supplies last)
