While head of EZRA's Social Action Committee, client and community needs were my focus and were addressed directly. In 2024 there was an increased desire for beautification in Uptown, Chicago.

​

As the iconic Chicago tulips blossomed throughout the city, Uptown residents found their streets lined with only barren flowerbeds and dirt-filled tree squares. After conversation and planning with the Uptown Chamber of Commerce, I was able to secure donations of gardening supplies and plants from local organizations. EZRA's Social Action committee was then able to plan a planting day, invite the community, and plant flowers around the neighborhood.

​

The plants brightened the area, served as a living advertisement for the donors, and brought in additional community projects for my Social Action committee.
