100th Day of the Otis Cleanup Project!
100 days ago a slew of volunteers stepped onto the fire burned property owned by Corey and Claire Rivera. Corey was still fairly new to town and wanted to clean his property and get to know his neighbors by organizing a week long cleanup. Pastor Corey’s goal was also to spread the love of the lord through cleaning up the lots on Pony Trail. Half way through the first week talks of keeping the cleanup project going started, and by the end of the week Corey handed off cleanup Operations to Tye and Melynda Small with the backing of Cascade Relief Team Nonprofit and Marc Brooks.
