Keep Newburgh Beautiful #BeKindBeCool

In this video I follow Maggie, Linda, and the many people who showed up at their “Keep Newburgh Beautiful” event, a day dedicated to more than just picking up trash.

While the goal might seem to just clean up a street that is unfortunately used for illicit and dangers activities, the heart of the initiative is to get the community together.

I was very touched by this act of kindness , I will show you the "Before and After" transformation of that street, but more importantly, how people interact with each other, what motivates them to put energy, time, and money into it.
