TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A group of approximately 50 volunteers gathered on Sunday morning at the World Mission Society Church of God in Midtown Tucson for a cleanup event aimed at improving the local environment and fostering a sense of community.
The event, part of the church’s 60th-anniversary celebrations, focused on clearing trash and debris along Tucson Boulevard.
Volunteers, equipped with donated supplies from local businesses like Home Depot, Starbucks and Eegees, spent the day collecting litter, all while promoting a message of service and care for their surroundings.
Amanda Tello, the event coordinator for the church, explained the mission behind the cleanup efforts.
“We believe that by helping our environment and serving our community, we can express the love of a mother to everybody,” Tello said. “Just as a mom takes care of her family, we want to take care of our community with that kind of mind.”
