Just last year, over 100 neighbors, youth, families, and community members came together and spent a wonderful summer evening walking together.
This year, Safe Streets will host its second annual “WALK for Safe Neighborhoods” event on Friday, July 17th at Wapato Park. To date, Safe Streets has organized and trained a network of 120 community groups involving over 14,000 neighborhood leaders and 190,000 residents in high-risk neighborhoods. Bring along your family, friends and neighbors to start your own team and raise money to make the streets of Pierce County safer!
