Programming example

This is day #6 of Gilbane Building’s Community Impact Challenge! Today, we partnered with Pride ERG to assist with gardening at “El Jardín del Paraíso” hashtag#community garden in preparation for the annual Harvest Fair in the East Village. It was incredible to join volunteers from other organizations in this labor of love! We cleaned, deweeded, planted, and added new mulch to this community space.El Jardin del Paraiso, a public park operated by community members and the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, hosts community events and activities, including school classes. The park's goals include promoting hashtag#environmental awareness and hashtag#education, and providing a space for hashtag#recreation and hashtag#outdoor events.Ryan Cruthers John-James Tesoriero Maribel Rivera, LEED AP Gilbane New York-New Jersey hashtag#GilbaneFederalhashtag#CommunityImpact hashtag#Volunteering hashtag#EnvironmentalAwareness hashtag#NYCparks
