Day of Service - Pick Up and Pitch In at Piedmont Park - Atlanta, GA
For the Atlanta office’s Day of Service, Nicole Felder and Sutton Smith took the opportunity to give back to the community by volunteering through Piedmont Park’s “Pick Up and Pitch In” program. This initiative, aimed at keeping one of Atlanta’s most iconic green spaces clean and inviting, gave the team members a chance to connect with the community while making a tangible difference in the environment.
On the day of the event, Nicole and Sutton spent hours walking the park’s expansive trails, carefully collecting trash and debris that had accumulated over time. They focused on cleaning areas around the park’s well-trafficked trails, the open lawn spaces where visitors gather, and the serene pond shoreline. Their hands-on efforts helped restore the park to its pristine condition, ensuring it remains a welcoming haven for residents, visitors, and wildlife alike.
The “Pick Up and Pitch In” program is an essential part of Piedmont Park Conservancy’s ongoing efforts to maintain the park’s cleanliness and beauty. Volunteers like Nicole and Sutton play a critical role in supporting these efforts by dedicating their time and energy to keeping this beloved public space litter-free. The program not only helps preserve the natural beauty of the park but also encourages a sense of civic responsibility and environmental stewardship among participants.
Nicole and Sutton reflected on their experience, saying, “It was so rewarding to look back at areas that were littered and see them all cleaned up. We really enjoyed our time helping out the city.” Their words capture the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from volunteering and making a visible impact on the community.
CapRidge’s participation in this Day of Service is a testament to their ongoing commitment to supporting local initiatives and making a positive contribution to the city.
