About 800 Pepperdine University students fanned out over Los Angeles to clean up roadside and beach trash, landscape school grounds and complete other maintenance projects during a 10th annual community service day, officials said.
Faculty and staff also helped with the more than 30 projects included in Saturday’s Step Forward Day, said Kathy Hua-Di of the university’s Student Volunteer Center.
Some participants picked up trash on Pacific Coast Highway and Zuma and Surfrider beaches, did repairs and gardening at Malibu’s Juan Cabrillo and Webster schools, as well as at Malibu, Santa Monica and Venice high schools. Other students painted a mural at a Salvation Army facility in downtown Los Angeles, Hua-Di said.
