On April 6 2019, a cleanup was held at the Sanctuary of our Lady of Guadalupe in Mecca. This event was coordinated by Grace Escobar from the CDBG unit. Many other agencies and groups joined in to make this event a success, including 4th District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez and his staff, Code Enforcement, The Boys and Girls Club of Mecca, 4th District Youth Advisory Council and local volunteers. There were 327 tires collected and 41.22 tons of trash and debris collected from residences and surrounding illegal dumpsites. This event helped make a difference in the appearance of the community and was appreciated by those who reside there.
