"Neighbors Helping Neighbors" Yard Clean-Up Initiative - DCR

In the wake of the Eaton Fire, many Altadena residents are still navigating the long road to recovery—facing mounting challenges like county citations and delayed rebuilding timelines due to ongoing appeals and financial strain.

This is an eligible Daisy Chain Reaction volunteer opportunity. Volunteers who are 18 years of age or older and who opt in during registration for the promotion running between July 22, 2026 at 7:00 AM PST and August 20, 2026 at 7:00 PM PST may participate in a giveaway for a chance to win two (2) GA tickets to Daisy Chain Fields 2026. Participation in the giveaway is completely optional, and you are welcome to volunteer whether or not you choose to enter. See the Official Rules for complete eligibility requirements and terms. 


Why: This work addresses an immediate public safety issue while preventing additional financial strain on fire-impacted households, making recovery more possible and equitable for those still navigating loss. Every yard cleared is a step toward restoring stability in Altadena—supporting neighbors through compliance, safety, and a tangible path forward after devastating loss.

Who: At Project Passion, our mission is to foster collaboration and empower communities by creating spaces where individuals can unite, share resources, and work collectively toward meaningful change.

• The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Yard Clean-Up Initiative was created as a direct, community-led response to this moment. 
• This initiative mobilizes volunteers to support local residents—many of whom are seniors, families, or individuals still displaced—in clearing overgrown weeds, removing debris, and reducing fire hazards on their properties.

• Weed and brush removal
• Light yard debris clearing
• General outdoor clean-up to reduce fire risk

• Volunteers should come prepared for outdoor, hands-on work.
• Please wear closed-toed shoes and bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen).
• Tasks may involve bending, lifting, and standing for extended periods.
• We recommend bringing a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
• All skill levels are welcome—no prior experience is needed, just a willingness to support and work as part of a team.
