Bainbridge
Street: "When I go on vacation or come
home tired from work, I know the trash and yard upkeep will be taken
care of." Teresa Fields, Member Gates Avenue: "Foot Soldier's(FS) leadership is action and service oriented. They respond immediately to improve their process and seek to hold themselves accountable for their actions. It was inspiring to see FS go through the process to refute the findings of the Sanitation Dept. and to accept responsibility for payment of the summons received. It is service like this that secures repeat customers! Thank you FS!" Darryl C. Walls, Member Greene Avenue: "There is nothing like the sight of coming home from a hard days work and seeing young people cleaning up in front of my home, instead of being destructive. I will always support this type of positive energy!" Dolores Pate, Member Madison Street: "I love the Foot Soldiers because I don't argue with my husband about the garbage and the recycling is always put out on the correct day." Toya Williford, Member Quincy Street: "Overall the Foot Soldiers have been very helpful in keeping the property maintained and clean. They are always friendly and polite when they are here servicing the place." Rich Rodriguez, Member Stuyvesant Avenue: "This program is a great idea! These teens give
me so much hope!! They are polite, courteous, and diligent. It's a
win-win, young people are employed and the service they provide to the
community is a definite necessity. It is a relief to know they will be
there - I have come to depend on them. Thank you." Gladys
Thomas-Toscano, Member Throop Avenue: "Thank you for providing the services and making the community a better place. I have lived in Bed-Stuy all of my life and am raising my daughter here. It really is a good thing what you are doing with those kids. I was very impressed with them yesterday. Very articulate and polite, behaved more professionally then my staff at my office. Thank you again."
