Volunteers Needed to Make a Difference 

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time they just have the heart”

Volunteers are crucial to maintain and improve our community. Juan, Michelle and Rick from our community came together on August 3rd to mow the front and back yard of the abandoned home located in Oak Meadows at 827 Ogilvie. They all worked collaboratively in collecting the heavy trash and debris in order go over the tall grass with a riding lawn mower. Finally the trash was collected by the Solid Waste Department. 

We are in need of volunteers for this yard to be cleaned monthly in order to keep our area clean and beautiful. Together we can work together to properly care for our community.

Oak Meadows Impacted by Weather

Neighbors,

Due to the recent weather a lot of homes had power outages and damaged homes. Please, have all branches, tree limbs, etc. pushed to the curb for pick up.

The City of Houston Waste Department has been notified of the impact the weather had on our community and they have asked for some street boundaries for pick up.
If you have any junk waste please, notify me in order to get it reported and target first the streets that need it the most.
Warmly,
Yvette Hernandez
