Community Outreach and Assistance Programs
Environmental Responsibility
 hrough community clean-up and improvement efforts, Church members and staff make a direct and immediate impact on their neighborhoods and cities. Projects include public park and street clean-ups, adopt-a-highway programs, graffiti paint-outs, recycling, planting trees and campaigns to reduce pollution.
In Seattle, the Scientology Environmental Task Force has been active for several years in environmental improvement efforts such as Plant Seattle Green, a recycling program that raised funds to plant trees in newly developed areas of the city. The Task Force has sponsored murals painted by volunteer artists to beautify the city.
Blood donation drives are another service organized by Scientology churches in cities around the world. Because Scientologists are drug-free, their participation in such drives is welcomed by community blood service agencies.
The Church's community services also include neighborhood crime watches, participation in walk-a-thons for charities such as the March of Dimes and fundraising on behalf of infants with AIDS.
In just one month, October 1994, Churches of Scientology in the United States organized and sponsored 70 events across the country — study skills seminars, community clean-up drives, and drug prevention and education workshops, activating thousands of volunteers.
