The Denney House aims to empower people to use their talents to give back to the community through a number of environmentally friendly activities.
The Project Clean Water Initiative was developed specifically to help raise awareness about the impact that the misuse and abuse of our environment has on our water sources. Through this program youth and their families are made aware of this potential impact, and given best practices on how they can improve their behaviors to become good stewards of the environment. At every project clean water event, participants are challenged to take the pledge to commit to doing the work necessary to ensure our water and our land can continue to benefit generations to come.
Project clean waters flagship projects are community clean ups, hosted throughout the county. We have partnered with local organizations such as Remnant at Zion Fort Washington, St. Stephen Baptist Church, The Camp Springs Civic association, and the county, for which we were recognized for collecting the most litter during the Spring 2019 Growing Green with Pride event.
Another tenant of Project Clean Water is the TDH G.R.E.E.N.S. program – Growing a Resource of Environmentally Educated Neighbors, developed in order to help provide environmental education to both middle and high school aged youth and their families. This year we partnered with The Mercy House and Stephen Decatur Middle School to teach community members about maintaining gardens and about the environment through hands on activities.
