Volunteers from the church spanned all ages, with some volunteers as young as eight years old. They collected approximately 40 bags of trash that had accumulated in a vacant piece of land between  Marumsco Plaza and Bayvue Apartments

Brenda Evans, Executive Director of KPWB said, “I think it is absolutely wonderful that New Life Ministries cares about the community they serve. This demonstrates in more than one way, that New Life Ministries practices what it preach and that is giving back to the community. It was great seeing church members, who gave up their Saturday morning, who brought along their children to help with this cleanup effort.”
