Helping Our Seniors

November 19, 2017

The Westview Community Organization organized a “This Old House – Westview Edition” by providing much needed repairs to a neighborhood senior’s home. Neighbors rallied together to clean and paint the siding, as well as make repairs to a leaky roof and miscellaneous fixes.

Thank you to all the volunteers that came out and/or donated towards the cause.

Thanks to the success of this project, the Westview Community Organization would like to make this an on-going project. You can donate funds towards this senior aid project by donating money via PayPal:

Trees Atlanta and HouseProud Work Day

October 27, 2012

Saturday, October 27th, 2012 was a busy day for the Westview community. Both Trees Atlanta and HouseProud were in the neighborhood doing work.

Trees Atlanta got big help thanks to the fourth grade class (and their parents) from the Westminster School. Trees were planted along the landscape strip on Stokes Avenue and additional trees were planted in the front yard of houses on East Ontario Avenue.

In the meanwhile HouseProud and its volunteers were busy painting a house next to the Stokes Avenue Pocket Park. The owner, Ms. Pippy, was ecstatic about the work and even picked up the brush to do a little work.

To view more photos of the Trees Atlanta and HouseProud work day please visit our Westview Facebook page.

April Clean-Up Month Photos

April 10, 2012

The Westview Community Organization held a successful kick-off to the “April Clean-Up Month.” Neighbors came together on Saturday, April 7, 2012, to tackle two tasks:

One team roamed the streets to collect tires that have been dumped throughout the neighborhood. Thanks to Liberty Tire Recycling, the 100 collected tires (!) will no longer be littering the Westview neighborhood.

The second team set out to start constructing a picket fence around the new Stokes Avenue Community Park (or at least park to be!). Thanks to the “NPU-T” grant the neighborhood was able to fund a picket fence. The fence is yet to be completed, but good progress has been made.

Thanks to all the volunteers who made it out! We hope to see you out for the next two clean-up days on Saturday, April 14, and Saturday, April 21.

To view more photos of the tire clean-up and fence construction please visit our Westview Facebook page.
