Nothing feels better than helping others, especially those in a city like Compton. Ernst & Haas' very own Angela Renteria, Brooke Karli, and Mia Renteria - as well as former Ernst & Haas property supervisor Ivan Velasquez and Ernst & Haas vendors Robert Renteria of Angels Landscape and Clemente Ramirez of Absolute Painting - regularly participate in
Emmanuel Reformed Church's quarterly Compton workdays, and will be there again tomorrow.
The workdays, part of
The Compton Initiative, take place four times a year and consist of more than 2,000 volunteers coming together and improving the city of Compton by doing yard work, house repairs, painting over graffiti, improving school and parks, and much more.
The first workday for 2011 is tomorrow, January 29, and volunteers will be meeting at Compton High School, located at 601 S. Acacia Ave., at 7 a.m.
This is a great opportunity to do something great for others and a great way to get your family, friends, and co-workers involved. If you can't make it tomorrow, here are the upcoming workdays for the rest of the year:
-April 30
-July 30
-October 15
Be sure to wear comfortable clothing that you're willing to get dirty. Breakfast and lunch are served throughout the day.
Hope to see you there!
