University of New Haven students stepped off campus Saturday and into the Allingtown section of West Haven to pick up trash.
Although they live here, students admit they don’t interact with the neighborhood and it was the perfect chance to change that.
“I like to give back to the community especially because I live here now and these are my neighbors essentially,” said Alexandra Chueiri, a student volunteer.
More than 100 students from different clubs and organizations on campus came out to help.
It’s an effort to clean up streets before winter hits.
“We want to give back to the community. We feel good we love doing this. We actually pretty much volunteer every weekend, so we love doing stuff like this,” Joshua Rodriguez said.
