The Environmental Protection Agency today announced a community-based partnership initiative in conjunction with the White House's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
“In the history of this nation, faith communities and neighborhood groups have been instrumental in efforts to open new opportunities and improve the world we live in. We are initiating today an effort to connect the talent, energy and enthusiasm we see in faith groups and communities across the nation with the work we are doing at EPA,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “This is part of a broader effort, involving the White House and 12 other federal agencies, to form working relationships among government at all levels and faith-based and secular non-profit organizations to serve Americans in need and keep children and families healthy.”
