Wedgewood Spring Celebrations
SIGN UP TO HELP WITH A SOCCER FIELD PREP FOR HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN
Many children and families in The Wedgewood Village Apartments do not have daily access to any organized recreation outside their schools. On March 31st, we will build their very first soccer field to start a recreational soccer program for them all.
With the main objective of addressing the issue of drugs and gangs in the neighborhood, several activities have been planned to help Columbus police officers, local youth and adults interact with each other in positive ways. A comprehensive sports program is being developed in the neighborhood and this field will be used on daily basis to provide organized soccer within their apartment complex.
We need help with food and labor. Please sign up now. As always, you can also help My Project USA continue to serve the Wedgewood community by Donating Online at MYProjectUSA.org
