The Philadelphia Catholic League Alumni Corps (PCLAC) will be hosting our next major service project on March 23rd.
March 23rd 2013 — Strawberry Mansion Revitalization Project (Strawberry Mansion)
For our next service project, we will be deconstructing and recreating a community garden which must be moved due to impending development at its current site. Join us as we head to the Strawberry Mansion section of Philadelphia to collaborate with the East Park Revitalization Alliance (EPRA) whose mission is to establish programs to promote health and wellness and events to improve the local environment.
