Harlem Park West is a neighborhood full of potential, and actively taking steps towards community-led development and revitalization. Historic 3-story row homes line the streets ready for repair, and empty green space awaits gardens to be planted and harvested for local use. The community has a strong history of local activism, while also struggling with social issues such as poverty, violence and unemployment. Once considered a thriving home to mixed-income families, today many residents are faced with urban blight and a lack of critical resources. TMC Philly Platoon will be joining the fun in Operation Charm. We will meet up and serve on Day 1 of TMC's National Mass Deployment!!! Together with our partners, we will spend the day serving to: - Makeover vacant lots with art installations, murals, and landscaping to prevent illegal dumping - Create a park complete with gathering areas and games for local seniors to enjoy - Face lift for the former Roots and Branches School with exterior painting and fence repair
