Peace Village Homeless Encampment Cleanup

Rochester Platoon team members and volunteers will assist the staff and other assembled volunteers on January 5, 2022, starting at 11 AM in a clean up effort of the Peace Village Homeless Encampment located on the right side of Industrial Street, which is a small side street off Broad Street in downtown Rochester, NY. Google maps will pinpoint the end of Industrial Street; follow to the pinpoint and Peace Village will be on the right side mid-way. There is no actual address. Peace Village is a city sanctioned homeless encampment and is overseen by several non-profit entities. Rochester Platoon has joined with Homes 4 the Homeless in this effort. The effort for this project is to simply pick up accumulated trash and debris, and to neaten up the area. The City of Rochester is providing trash dumpsters, and the other non-profit agencies are providing trash pinchers. Rochester Platoon will also have work gloves. Face masks are higly recommended, as is cold weather clothing.
