Community Partner Spotlight: Keep Odessa Beautiful

For more than 30 years now, our community has been and will always be the heart of The Garriga Law Firm. We value our partnerships with other local businesses and organizations, with the purpose of improving the lives and the environment of our community. One of those organizations we love to collaborate with is Keep Odessa Beautiful.

Keep Odessa Beautiful is a community, non-profit environmental awareness organization. “Our role is to educate the community about several things such as litter prevention, recycling and beautification,” said Claudia Ortega, Executive Director of Keep Odessa Beautiful. “We just added a new component to our program: sustainability. We are hosting an Earth Day Sustainability Project at one local school. The children will learn how to plant and care for their vegetables and herbs, harvest water, and compost. The goal is for more schools to do the same to create a sustainable community.”

This organization is extremely busy, especially right now hosting several events in honor of Earth Day and Arbor Day. We at the Garriga Law Firm love the work they do, and we saw it as a great opportunity to help this wonderful organization.

“I can’t say enough about the Garriga Law Firm. They support our mission 100%. They help us and the community tremendously,” said Ortega. “They have purchased recycle bins downtown and supported our recycle fashion show.” This year’s Recycle Fashion Show will take place in October at the Odessa Marriott Hotel and Conference Center.
