Last weekend, at my husband’s suggestion, we joined some friends for "Keep Gardena Beautiful Day" 🌿
Keep Gardena Beautiful Day is a community cleanup event held by the City of Gardena every September, bringing local residents and City staff together to help keep the community clean and beautiful.
This year, we volunteered at the Community Garden next to Peary Middle School. 🧹🌱
We started at 8 AM and spent about three hours pulling weeds, cleaning up, and working together to give the garden a little TLC.
And after all that hard work, the City treated us to a Hawaiian BBQ lunch! 🍖🌺
There was even a raffle, and somehow I ended up winning a $20 Amazon gift card!😂🎉
For our family, "giving back to the community” is something we truly value.
Honestly, with our busy schedules, finding time to volunteer isn’t always easy. But experiences like this remind us how important it is to make time when we can and give back to the communities we’re part of.
And what made me especially proud was seeing our kids work hard for the entire three hours without slacking off once! 🥹❤️
Seeing them contribute alongside us and help take care of our community was such a proud mom moment.
Getting to know the community we live in, connecting with the people around us, and giving back in small ways.
As I continue to build my real estate business and become more connected to the South Bay community, I want to make time for experiences like this whenever I can. 🌿
