Program accomplishments

  • Snow Angels Program - Program to assist senior citizens and those otherwise disabled to take care of snow removal on their sidewalks. This past winter was very light, but we did add a few more volunteer opportunities to the program. 25 people have been assisted so far.
  • Community Garden - A community garden was established in 2021. This garden was used for both educational workshops for children and other residents, and also to provide fresh produce. Produce was given to seniors, residents, those living in subsidized housing and donated to organizations that supply free produce to those in need. We were able to hold six separate produce giveaways in our community this past year, in addition to donating produce to the Second Harvest community thrift store in Sharpsburg, which is a neighboring community to Blawnox. In addition to being a thrift store, Second Harvest always has non-perishable food goods and whatever produce they can get to offer to those in need. We were also able to supplement food giveaways from the North Hills Community Outreach with fresh produce from the garden at the Blawnox Boro office on a monthly basis throughout the summer. Lastly, we had some educational opportunities for children during the Fall Festival, allowing them to plant and grow their own produce.
