Beginnings.....
Evelyn Baldwin, remembers how in 2013 the event started from the ideas of her husband, Pastor Roy Baldwin, and Klida.
“When we first started, it started small,” Evelyn Baldwin said. “We had an idea ... and we felt the need to make a positive change in the community. ...Then, on the first day, we didn’t know if people were going to come or not, and then it was like buses and buses of people that just came.”
She said this event has positively impacted the area, helped people enjoy their neighborhood, and brought down the crime rate.
“After we did the work in the community, it was like you could feel the spirit of God in that area, you can feel the spirit of love in the community,” she said.
One Week, One Street effort is a yearly local mission project in east Saginaw providing an opportunity for area churches, businesses, and non-profit organizations to respond to the call to "love our neighbors as ourselves." This is accomplished by painting homes, clearing brush, landscaping yards, repairing porches, and other minor exterior home repairs.
Adults and youth groups, or individuals, are encouraged to volunteer and demonstrate love for our neighbor.
