"Friends of Lakeside Village" is a nonprofit of residents and businesses. Over the years, projects have included better lighting along the M-line tracks, tree trimming, graffiti abatement, and Lakeside Landing.
We have listened to your ideas for priorities (below). We will add new projects so please check back regularly!
Flowers $20
Are you enjoying the community gardens at Lakeside Landing and along Ocean Ave? Your gift will help add more flowers to Lakeside Village. $20 buys a small assortment of beautiful flowers at wholesale prices.
Small Checkers $40
Fun for the whole family! Teens painted small boards for games on the Lakeside Landing benches. $40 buys two replacement sets of small checkers in waterproof containers for everyone to play!
Activities $100
Lakeside Landing hosts many free events for families. $100 provides a stipend to teachers for classes e.g. a clinic to help rescue your potted plants -- or an expert to help rescue your giant chess game!
Projects $200
Volunteers have organized projects from painting murals to beautifying sidewalks. $200 supports ongoing expenses such as the weeding program by high school interns and printing flyers for events!
