FACELIFT 2006

Date:           June 8 and June 10, 2006 NeighborWorks week Facelift event
Time:          9:00am – 5:00pm
Location:    48th Street between Trojan and Orange Streets; City Heights, San Diego

FaceLift is a spruce-up-a-block-in-a-day event that is accomplished through the help of community volunteers, neighborhood associations, and local business leaders. Each year, the locally-based FaceLift Committee selects a one block radius in the City Heights area to receive a makeover during our one-day event held in June. FaceLift gives priority to senior citizens, disabled persons and low-income families that need assistance to make improvements to their homes.  Our ten previous FaceLift days have mobilized over 3,400 volunteers to paint 293 homes and haul away over 300 tons of trash in City Heights communities since 1995!

This year’s FaceLift began with Home Depot Handy Day on Thursday, June 8th. Nearly 100 volunteers from Home Depot stores countywide showed up to prepare the homes, doing skilled labor such as building storage sheds, installing fences and replacing siding and windows. On Saturday, June 10th, community volunteers joined neighbors, local groups and corporations, and painted and landscaped 12 homes and an older condo complex near 48th Street between Orange and Trojan. A Project CLEAN team hauled trash and removed non-native plants from a nearby canyon. Sponsors included The Home Depot, Bank of America, Citibank, Councilmember Jim Madaffer, NeighborWorks America, The Hartford, Price Entities, Rebuilding Together San Diego and Union Bank.
