Beautifying The Community
Fresh Start Services Incorporated was an idea that was started by a group of people with the goal in mind of servicing the community in multiple ways. It was designed for those feeling frustrated with what was going on around them, and having the desire and compassion to help out with the obvious problems in their neighborhood. Those problems would be classified as vacant and foreclosed properties, families losing their homes along with their income, property values dropping, as well as a lack of jobs, job skills, and idle time for the youth.
