Hamline Midway Elders
The Hamline Midway Elders project, “Clean Up & Create: Reducing Garbage and Toxins and Creating Green Gifts” focused on three areas: reducing unwanted junk mail, reducing hazardous waste, and creating green gifts. Staff organized and presented session for seniors on reducing junk mail, using nontoxic cleaners, and properly disposing household hazardous waste. They also created green gift sessions, where seniors learned about planning greener celebrations and making gifts from items they found around their homes. The activities were organized primarily for the seniors for whom they arrange services to help them remain healthy and safe in their own homes. All the other people tied to the organization, i.e., volunteers, neighborhood residents, donors, service providers, benefited from the entire project as well.
