| In the Argentine Betterment Corporation's (ABC) first year of operation we have been instrumental in getting residents together at three major ABC sponsored events: Serve Day, Silver City Day, and the Holiday Lighting Ceremony. These events were managed and facilitated with neighborhood volunteers. Serve Day included participating youth from all over Kansas City to work with over 50 residents to clean up the Argentine after a long hard winter and also to package food to send to Haiti. Silver City Day is a community celebration that included a parade, food and craft booths, and family entertainment. ABC enlisted the help of 20-30 local volunteers so that over 1,000 people including hundreds of children would experience a fun, exciting day with their neighbors. The Holiday Lighting Ceremony was made possible with the help of 10-20 neighbors to organize and put on the event. Several hundred residents attended and over 300 children received gifts from Santa. ABC was also involved in organizing and sponsoring a Halloween event for several hundred children at the local Community Center. | 0 | 6454 |
| ABC has also been working with the Unified Government to identify problem properties so they can be taken care of, working with Community Police to reduce crime, getting neighborhood group leaders together regularly to discuss and act on important community issues, and organizing and facilitating community meetings to make residents aware of important information and programs. In the Fall 2010, ABC began putting the pieces togther to bring life back to the Franklin Center, an old elementary school that has been given to the community by the local school district. With student volunteers from the Youthfront School of Formation, we knocked on the doors of 190 houses and spoke to 108 households. At least 77 of these expressed some sort of interest in helping and 10 of these have been identified as leaders. The goal is to reclaim this abandoned building and make it a valuable community resource. ABC also began working with Beans&Greens to bring a mobile produce market to Argentine. We will be involved in making sure the low income residents of our community are aware of this opportunity to buy affordable fresh produce. | 0 | 1836 |
