A big thank you to The Gorilla Glue Company for spending their Community Day volunteering with us!

Their team spent the day at our new home in the historic Harry Hake building in Walnut Hills, clearing garbage, weeding and landscaping, moving furniture, and helping get our new space organized and more functional.

Days like this remind us how much a community can accomplish when people show up and pitch in. Thank you, Gorilla Glue, for your time and hard work!

We are looking for volunteers! Your support help keeps our community clean, green and vibrant. And volunteers at Cincy Block Party get to enjoy the party after their shift!

In late 2023, Cornerstone Renter Equity received a City Of Cincinnati Government Safe and Clean Grant, administered by Keep Cincinnati Beautiful, to transform Goose Alley from an overgrown lot into a revitalized garden and farm for residents and youth. Partnering with the Urban Farming Collective (UFC) Food System, Cornerstone also launched "Teach the Grower," an urban agriculture program teaching youth and residents sustainable growing practices and food sovereignty.

Fast forward to 2026: the garden is thriving, employing resident youth gardeners and a certified horticulture resident garden manager, and hosting regular community events. Whether tending fresh produce, caring for animals, or simply sitting in nature, this alley has become a sustainable, positive third space for OTR youth and neighbors alike.

Goose Alley is another example that a cleaner, greener Cincinnati also means a more connected, vibrant one.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Don’t Dump The Nati! event today! Your contribution and support continue to help Keep Cincinnati Beautiful! 💚

Did you miss us today? Come see us at next month’s Don’t Dump The Nati! event on Friday, September 25.
