A COMMUNITY IN SERVICE

Board Members of the Lloyd D. Smith Foundation, Representatives of the Pearl Coalition, Building Brighter Futures, Georgetown University volunteers and an officer from the Metropolitan Police Department, surround Mr. Huff (center), the Ward 7 resident who was the recipient of our "Senior Home Uplift."

"Senior Home Uplift" - In the memory and legacy of the late Martin Luther King, Jr. and the late Lloyd D. Smith, one of Washington, DC Ward Seven's most successful community development leaders, the Lloyd D. Smith Foundation was pleased to partner with the Pearl Coalition and Building Brighter Futures, Inc. to coordinate a day of community outreach and service in Washington, DC's Ward 7. Special thanks to volunteers from Georgetown University join us in our efforts.

Our goal was to "uplift" a senior citizen's home by tackling some needed repairs. This included indoor and outdoor cleaning, repairing damaged ceiling, walls and floors, painting, trash removal, and providing other miscellaneous improvements that this senior citizen was unable to accomplish on his own. In 20˚ weather, Georgetown University volunteers also walked the neighborhood picking up trash.
