ALBANY, GA (WALB) – One hundred teenagers will be in the streets of Albany Saturday cleaning up the community. The Albany High School students are partnering with Deceased Daddys' Daughters to take part in Sow and reap community day.
They'll clean the area around the school and the neighborhood to sow good seeds in the community to reap a harvest of pride. Anita Tunstall said, "If you truly own your community and you care about it and you clean it up, there's a sense of pride and that pride becomes intrinsic."
The group will clean the area from around nine Saturday morning through noon.
