Christian Missionary Alliance Life Conference cleaning up our neighborhood

Yesterday Lee Hinds and I had a good time with these young people.

 

You may have seen them walking the neighborhood with blue bags picking up trash. They helped clean up problems on 2 land bank lots, at an abandoned house and picked up litter in the McCoy park neighborhood South of Truman rd. the total count was 38 bags of trash out of our neighborhood and 2 large piles of brush waiting for public ... View more works to pick them up.
They are members of the Christian Missionary Alliance in town for their annual Life Conference. This is an annual event and this year they chose Kansas City. This conference draws youth from across the nation ajnd part of their mission while they are in town is "serving the city through community projects " So, as I understand it 5000 youth and their adult mentors are spreading out through the city looking for places to help. We had 50 of them come to our neighborhood and they are a great bunch of young people.
We thank them for their help and wish them the best as they make their way home to Michigan , Florida and Minnesota.
