Ten associates from the South Coast Air Quality Management District traveled to Indio from all over the area to help Habitat clear years of debris and discards from the yard of an elderly homeowner. Strong winds didn’t keep the team from cleaning out two side yards and the backyard as well as taking down a dead tree. They filled a 40 yard dumpster as well as two trailers full of items that could not go to the landfill.

A big thank you to John, Melissa, Kaesean, Cristina, Alex, Mindy, Josephine, Carlos, Germon, and Margarita and our loyal team of local volunteers, Glen, Paul, Michael, David and John.

Postscript – As a follow up, a group of volunteers from Palm Desert Rotary came out and painted the outside of the home and planted a new tree!
