Refuge for Women, a nonprofit organization providing specialized long-term and emergency housing for women who have escaped human trafficking or sexual exploitation, is the latest recipient of a $2,500 grant from the BrightView Fund for Social Justice.

All across the country, BrightView team members volunteered their time and participated in enhancement projects and local events to make a positive impact in their communities on Earth Day.

The Simon Youth Foundation, a nonprofit headquartered in Indianapolis, believes that all youth should have the opportunity to follow their dreams through education, and they have become the latest recipient of a grant from the BrightView Fund for Social Justice.

The BrightView Fund for Social Justice provided a grant to the Seattle Beacon Hill Garden Club, an affiliated program of Beacon Arts. The community garden seeks to provide food stability for residents experiencing financial hardship.

BrightView team members volunteered to spend a day clearing out and cleaning up the overgrown south side of Ellis Island where stands an abandoned hospital complex. Called Ellis Island’s forgotten hospital, the 22-building complex was one of the largest public health undertakings in the country and is where immigrants were treated if they were sick or needed to be quarantined upon arriving to the U.S.

A Military Wall of Honor was recently rededicated in Riverside, Calif., in time for Memorial Day following a monthslong makeover. BrightView was commissioned to refurbish the landscaping in front of the monument.

The garden was established in 2012 from a grant funded by the San Diego Health and Services Agency, and now with its 10th anniversary in 2022, the garden is undergoing a little makeover. BrightView donated plant material, boulders, irrigation installation, and plant installation.

BrightView Design Group was recently engaged in a project in Sacramento, Calif., to provide the landscape and irrigation design on a 2-acre property. The local team provided all rough grade, drainage, irrigation, planting, and sod for almost 18,000 square feet of landscaping.

The story of how BrightView crews descended upon the campus of California non-profit Casa Pacifica to restore the landscape began not with a phone call; but rather, an observation made from the window of a classic 1970 Chevy C20.

BrightView is mobilizing teams across the Southwestern United States as part of its Environmental Stewardship, Social Responsibility and Corporate Governance program, also known as ESG.
