Clean Your Yard: Neighbors Coming Together for Oak Grove

CNE teamed up with volunteers from the Oak Grove Neighborhood for our Clean Your Yard event, and the results speak for themselves. Together, we cleared three alleyway sections and hauled away more than 20 bags of trash and debris.

It was a great reminder of what's possible when a community rolls up its sleeves and works toward a common goal.

Why Events Like This Matter

At CNE, our mission goes beyond building affordable housing in Chattanooga. We believe a great neighborhood is built on more than just good homes. A few of the pillars that we believe build great communities include:



• Curb appeal that residents can take pride in
• Safety, with clear, well-maintained shared spaces
• Community, the connections that form when neighbors work side by side

Clean Your Yard brought all three of these together in one morning of hands-on impact.

A Big Thank You to Our Volunteers

None of this would have been possible without the volunteers and members of the Chattanooga and Oak Grove community who showed up ready to work. Your time and effort made a real, visible difference, and that's exactly the spirit CNE hopes to inspire across every neighborhood we serve.
