All projects will be on Saturday, May 7th, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. in Camden, Essex, Hudson, Mercer, and Passaic counties. Projects include transforming urban playgrounds with interactive line games and US maps, painting inspirational murals to brighten school hallways, historical preservation, landscaping and cleanups in public parks, and sorting food donations.
