Homicide rates are declining and Mayor Joe Hogsett and the Office of Public Health and Safety have worked together to create the Summer Outreach Series in order to keep it that way.
Hogsett kicked off the Summer Neighborhood Outreach Series at Grassy Creek Park on the far east side Wednesday afternoon.
The outreach program will repeat every Wednesday in June, each time in a different neighborhood that experiences high crime, violence, and food insecurity. "In order to really get someone's attention, what's the best way? Take them to eat. Since we can't take everybody out to eat individually, we brought the food to the hood. We're here to feed the 'streets' as some people would say," Peacemaker Branden Ballard said, who used the event as an opportunity to make connections in the neighborhood.
