Bridge Publications spring cleanup brought the community together for an afternoon dedicated to caring for the environment.
Bridge Publications, the all-digital in-house printing facility and publisher of L. Ron Hubbard’s nonfiction works, organized and carried out a clean-up with other members of the Commerce community.
Vice Mayor of the City of Commerce Mr. Hugo Argumedo joined the initiative, not only coordinating supplies for the clean-up and a city dumpster, but also volunteering to help clean the streets.
The Maravilla Foundation brought a force of volunteers who lent their muscle and trucks and energetically worked alongside Bridge Publications and other volunteers, shoveling, picking up and hauling trash.
