In May, members of District Council 57 devoted their time and energy to beautifying Casa San Jose (CSJ), a community center in Beechview, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2013, CSJ served as a resource center for Pittsburgh’s Latino community. This year, the community center relocated to Beechview. In need of a new sign and some façade painting, CSJ contacted DC 57 for assistance. DC 57’s Joe Hughes and Giles Grinko put together a crew of 10 members to assist with the renovations. The crew created and erected a sign and completed the façade painting. Thanks to the volunteers, the center saved thousands of dollars on renovations of the new CSJ building.
