Projects include restoration and repair; preservation and beautification; gardening or neighborhood cleanup; and recreation and social events with community interaction.
This year, the UMMS–UMass Memorial team will work at the Belmont Street Community School in Worcester, trimming shrubs and clearing brush around the perimeter of the school building that is overgrown and covering school signs.
