The Townsend Raitt Task Force is a collaborative of local schools, churches, property owners, community-based /non-profit organizations, resident/neighborhood leaders and public safety and enforcement agencies focused on coordinating strategies for improving community safety, quality of life and increased access to community resources for residents in a challenged environment of drug sales, crime and graffiti.

We anticipate at least 1,500 persons to participate in this year’s event, which will feature:

Activities for children (art, music, dance). Resource Fair. Cultural and Educational entertainment. Food and Water booth. Property owners and other local businesses.

The goal of the event is to engage residents with each other and other community stakeholders and task force participants to increase awareness and access to community resources to strengthen community safety, well being and quality of life.
