Organized by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orangecountyfl.net\/neighborshousing\/neighborhoodrevitalization.aspx\">Orange County Neighborhood Preservation &amp; Revitalization<\/a> division, the Fixin\u2019 Up the Neighborhood project is an opportunity for volunteers to directly assist neighbors by painting homes and making small housing repairs. This project in Washington Shores will extend through August 23, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The Summer of Service initiative, which was started by Mayor Jacobs in 2012 and kicks off the first day of summer, connected community members with Orange County Government divisions and community partner organizations for more than 19 separate volunteer events and opportunities. Throughout the summer, hundreds of participants helped paint and repair homes, clean up green spaces along recreational trails and label storm drains, among other activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur community is deeply enriched by the selfless service of the thousands of Orange County citizens who so readily give of themselves to help others,\u201d Mayor Jacobs said. \u201cI extend my thanks to all who participated in this year\u2019s Summer of Service projects. By working together to support our neighbors in need and care for our environment, our Summer of Service volunteers are helping to make Orange County a better place in which to live, play and raise a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Neighborhood Preservation &amp; Revitalization Division, Orange County Head Start, Regional History Center, Parks and Recreation and the Environmental Protection divisions also participated in the 2014 Summer of Service. The service opportunities provided by Orange County agencies were offered alongside related opportunities with six Orange County-funded community partners including Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Goodwill Industries of Central Florida, Adult Literacy League, Seniors First, Inc. and Volunteers for Community Impact.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Fixin\u2019 Up the Neighborhood as well as several other ongoing Summer of Service volunteer opportunities, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/media-advisories\/press-releases\/mayor-teresa-jacobs-2014-summer-of-service-a-success\/\">Summer of Services page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Additional Orange County volunteer opportunities can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orangecountyfl.net\/OpenGovernment\/GetInvolved.aspx\">Orange County Get Involved page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs\u2019 2014 Summer of Service will culminate with a month-long neighborhood improvement project benefiting the Washington Shores community.
