To help the community is using teamwork and bringing out the best in everyone’s community. These are a few of the ways to help people support the community.
People from the city can volunteer at events. They can help city workers by participating in city events and holiday events. There is a “Clean-Up” event where trash is picked from the park and city. The event is one time in the Spring and Fall seasons. People participate by cleaning up trash from the city and park, helping to keep the area clean.
City events and holidays have active games so the community can participate. Also, city events support small vendors and local school activities. The community can volunteer and help out small businesses to encourage a fellow neighbor.
The Community Services Center hosts holiday events and city events. Inside the building, people can get information on dance classes, a senior lunch room, senior classes, a computer lab, a game room, learning the history of the city, a fitness room, hosting a party room, watching movies, and reading books.
One community did use a room for a big haunted house last year. They invite all their neighbors to all their holiday events. On December 6, 2024, Lawndale held Angle Tree. They invited and supported local vendors and a cooking high school class vendor. They headed outside the Community Services Center. They put up Christmas lights on and have Santa Claus. They have school band performances and dance performances to help show their talent. They had a free photo booth where people could take photos. These events create a connection with the community and are a good opportunity to support your neighbors.
Every June Lawndale host a “Pet Safety,” where they give discount booster shots for neighbors’ pets. They support some pet vendors on “Pet Safety.”
Every September a “Blues Concert” takes place, which supports blues bands. The community workers serve food to the Seniors. The workers also get free lunch.
A favorite place in the community center is the fitness room because people use fitness equipment for free, and it promotes a positive lifestyle for the community.
There are many ways to help your community and stay in touch with your fellow neighbors it creates connections and positive relationships with those close to you. It’s an easy process to get involved with and it’s often just a click away.
