Family Federation for World Peace and Unification celebrated the International Day of Peace with community service projects across North America, focusing on both local beautification efforts and humanitarian aid.
In Los Angeles, Family Federation volunteers joined local residents for a neighborhood street cleanup and a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new community basketball court at Plain Truth Mission Family Church. Wearing "Faith Freedom Peace" shirts, participants cleared trash from surrounding streets. Community activist "Sweet Alice" Harris supported the gathering. The basketball court, set to be completed in November, will be dedicated in honor of the Mother of Peace.
In Richmond, British Columbia, a few dozen volunteers collected about 10 bags of trash near the Bridgeport SkyTrain Station with the support of the city's Partners for Beautification initiative.
In Vancouver, Canada, members of different generations participated in a "Mother of Peace Loves You" cleanup, spending an hour clearing litter from public spaces and filling several large garbage bags. The event aimed to honor the Mother of Peace and promote a more peaceful world.
Across Florida, Family Federation members took on two significant projects. In Tampa, they joined the Hillsborough River Coastal Riverwalk Cleanup organized by Friends of the Tampa Riverwalk, beautifying the waterfront while building connections with local volunteers. In South Florida, volunteers partnered with Gem Doral to prepare care packages for earthquake relief in Colombia and Venezuela.
In Dallas, Texas, participants collected several bags of trash along a freeway service road near the church. The group is now exploring adopting the roadway through the Keep Irving Beautiful program, potentially turning the cleanup into an ongoing commitment.
These projects commemorated the International Day of Peace through tangible acts of care, from cleaner neighborhoods to humanitarian relief. Family Federation members honored the Mother of Peace and her call to build a more peaceful world.
