Check out our photos from a recent revitalization project at the NYCHA South Jamaica Houses in Queens.

Mayor Bloomberg and our ED, Gary Bagley, put on their gardening gloves to work alongside 1,000 youth who beautified NYCHA sites and city parks in every borough. The event was a united effort between New York Cares, NYC Service, the Department of Youth and Community Development, the New York City Housing Authority, and the Department of Parks and Recreation.

A huge thanks to our intern, Sharese Frederick, for these beautiful shots.
