Wm. T. Spaeder Co. lead a neighborhood cleanup initiative with volunteers gathering alongside employees to make a positive impact in the Erie area in honor of Earth Day, on Tuesday, April 22

The group worked to clean up streets, parks and public spaces starting at 11 a.m. Beyond cleaning up, this event is about community for the company. Their Vice President of Business Development, Tom Kaspick, says, "This is something that we encourage of our employees, we try to get out there and do things with the community. This is our home, this is our area. Many of us don't live here in this neighborhood, but this is where we come to work every day. So, it's really important to give back and to do what we can to clean it up." 

Kaspick says this clean up event has taken place the past four years on Earth Day.
