Here's a glimpse of good things that happened in Marlborough last week! The Coalition and KCPD Metro Patrol hosted a give-away event for neighbors living in The Villages apartment complex along Troost. CIO Office Marquez is handing out Harvestor food boxes and personal hygiene items in the back of the picture ad residents are picking personal hygiene items and registering for free raffles for bikes at the Coalition's table.
Freshman students from Rockhurst University planted, mulched, trimmed and weeded at the Marlborough Village Pocket Park.

Thank you KCPD CIO Officers Marquez and Masterson plus Rockhurst Freshman volunteers!
