BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — As early as 9 a.m. is for most teens, students at McKinley High School were eager to give back to the Buffalo community Saturday morning.
"I live right down the street so this is my community," said Manni Reed, a senior at McKinley. "When I heard about it I was excited."
Reed and about two dozen other students pitched in with shovels, gloves, and weed whackers to help clean up a lawn on Clinton Street that needed some extra love.
"It's just something I really wanted to help with," said Reed. "I called my friends really early this morning and they were like you know what we're gonna come too, so we all just decided to help and pitch in."
Volunteers from Re-Tree were on hand to help out as well.
"Seeing a smile on people's faces when we do finish working and making it look nice and whatnot, just making people happy," said Liliana Thiele, a junior at McKinley.
