Come help your neighbor

VOA Florida Dream Center has an urgent opportunity to support a disabled veteran in our community who needs assistance with yard cleanup, which includes the removal of trash, debris, and overgrown vegetation.

Date: Saturday, August 29, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Location: Provided with sign-up confirmation

VOA Florida Dream Center will provide the tools, supplies, and materials needed for the cleanup, so all you need to bring is your willingness to help. If you prefer to bring your own yard tools or work gloves, you’re welcome to do so.

Please fill out a quick volunteer form before you start: FloridaDreamCenter.org/volunteer 
If you are an established VOA FLDC volunteer, skip the form and just let them know you'd like to join on August 29th.  

VERY IMPORTANT: Wear closed-toe shoes and no ripped clothing.
No phone use during volunteering for safety reasons.
Anyone under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a legal guardian/adult.

If you have any further questions, or to confirm participation for this volunteer opportunity, contact Dawn Birch, Volunteer Coordinator, at 727-851-9074 or by email at dawn@floridadreamcenter.org. 

Every helping hand makes a meaningful difference, and together we can make a positive impact for a local veteran in need.

5175 45th Street North - in the 💙 of Lealman

View more events on the LEX Community Calendar!

A new mural installation on 34th Street North was completed in July and is called “Where Good Things Grow”, by artist Frankie G, and funded by the Lealman CRA through a partnership with Creative Pinellas.

It is located at the southeast corner of US-19 and 57th Avenue North. This wonderful splash of color is also a Lealman placemaking feature. Over the past five years, the Lealman CRA has funded 18 public art projects from murals to utility box wraps throughout the Lealman area.

Keep Pinellas Beautiful in partnership with Pinellas County organized a workday in the Burnside neighborhood in Lealman where volunteers weeded and placed new mulch around the street trees planted by the Urban Forestry Division of Pinellas County Public Works over the past couple of years. Thank you to everyone who signed up to help out!
