Park Clean Up

Sometimes you need a little help from your friends.
Of Minot Park District's 21 parks, about half of them were impacted by the flood.
Jennifer Thorgramson introduces us to one group of volunteers that is trying clean up the valley, one park at a time.

Via View Park is one of those lost in the shadow of the Oak or Roosevelt Parks.
It was a popular one last summer, for all the wrong reasons.
But it was the first of Minot's parks to get attention from a volunteer group that's aiming to brighten the valley.

(Charquez Taylor, World Mission Society Church of God) "The flood took a lot of the life away from here in the ground so we're going to clear all this out for the summer. Even though the ground is kind of hard now, we're going to try to spruce it up a little bit and in the summer time it will be a lot easier to plant flowers and things like that."

The group is from the World Mission Society Church of God which is 2200 churches strong world wide.

(Charquez Taylor, World Mission Society Church of God) "Our church is actually doing a mission all across the world by cleaning up and beautifying the world, showing the love of Christ in the last days."

A global restoration mission, it only happens that locally, their initiative is needed now more than ever.

(Charquez Taylor, World Mission Society Church of God) "The flood season, it was difficult for everybody. We see in the parks, there are many things the city doesn't have, so we were the first to actually work with the park directors. Also during that time, people can see our church doing good deeds and good acts and what we're actually doing is spreading the love of the Heavenly Mother."

The group met with Minot Park District Director Ron Merritt on Monday to make a plan of action to continue cleaning in the parks that need it most.

(Charquez Taylor, World Mission Society Church of God) "He actually wants to set up a plan every week because we have a goal to clean up every park in Minot. Right now it's difficult. Oak park is closed. The bigger parks are closed. So we're going to start little and work our way up."

You may see them around town, the group plans to be in a park dressed in yellow every Sunday as weather permits.

The group also hosted a canned food drive on Sunday to help the Minot Area Homeless Coalition.
