Canton Community Clean Up

On Saturday, May 15, 2021, Community Clean Up Day in Canton Township at Griffin Park organized by Habitat for Humanity. The grant was made by the Canton Police Benevolent Fund at Canton Community Foundation.

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers representing Canton Township Police, residents from Canton, Belleville, Woodhaven, Royal Oak, as far away as South Lyon & Habitat for Humanity WWC Partner Families.

They cleaned up the entire area of the park behind the Canton Post Office, and one project for a resident in the neighborhood of digging and mixing dirt and mulch.

We can do wonderful things when we come together as a community!
