As winter approaches, volunteers are helping prepare one Jersey City park for the colder months ahead.
Employees from BNP Paribas spent an afternoon at Pershing Field Park in the Heights, giving the green space some much-needed attention. Volunteers helped spread mulch, plant flowers, rake leaves and clean up the grounds to get the park ready for winter.
The effort was part of BNP Paribas’ partnership with Jersey Cares, a program that connects companies with community service opportunities and gives employees a chance to make a difference through volunteer work.
BNP Paribas, which is headquartered in Jersey City, regularly participates in community-focused outreach efforts throughout the year.
