The PHCA was awarded a City of Pittsburgh Love Your Block grant to revitalize Maly Park, at the corner of Herron Avenue and Dobson Street. One of the requirements of the grant is that we need to bring out at least 20 volunteers. Please come out and help! Even if you can only work for an hour or two, that would be a big help.  We’ll be at Maly Park at 10:00 a.m.

Since we hope to have a large group of volunteers this day, we’ll take the opportunity to also do some maintenance at the parklet at Melwood and Finland Street as well.

If there are thunderstorms or lots of rain on May 16, we’ll postpone this volunteer day to May 30.  For more info, email valerie@phcapgh.org.

And while we’re on the topic of maintaining green space, here’s a reminder:  The morning of Saturday May 16 is also the City of Pittsburgh’s spring yard waste pickup.  Leave your bagged or bundled yard waste at the curb before 6:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.  Here’s more information on what they will and won’t pick up.
