LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Hundreds of volunteers are expected to take part next month in “Make a Difference Day,” a community cleanup effort organized by Keep Laredo Beautiful in partnership with Texas A&M International University.

The event, scheduled for Oct. 25, will focus on three locations, including a downtown site and the Laredo Health Department. More than 500 TAMIU volunteers typically participate each year, collecting litter and working to beautify neighborhoods.

“Make a Difference Day” is part of an annual national initiative that encourages community service projects across the country.

Local organizers said the event helps improve the appearance of Laredo’s streets while also fostering civic pride among residents and students.
