** This program is a big dill
------------------------------------------------------------
Our Community Violence Intervention program, also known as CVI, is expanding to even more neighborhoods thanks to a $1.5 million grant.

One of several initiatives focused on reducing crime, we are partnering with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition on a program that goes beyond intervention – it connects participants with mentorship, mental health resources, career programs and more.

The city's Children, Youth and Families Division Manager, Abraham Morris and Florida Rights Restoration Coalition Community Violence Intervention Strategy Manager, Raysean Brown, play a big role in CVI's success and took time to share with us how the program is all about building connections and breaking the cycle of violence. CVI's impact is undeniable. Since its launch in November 2022, firearm homicides in Orlando have decreased by 20% and non-fatal shootings have decreased 36%.

Watch the video to learn more about CVI and how it's making a difference in Orlando.

** Please romaine calm as you recycle
------------------------------------------------------------
Do you know if you’re really recycling properly? When too many wrong items, like plastic bags and Styrofoam, are placed in our recycle carts, we run the risk of having the entire truck load rejected and sent to the landfill.

Contamination has become an important issue that is impacting Orlando’s recycling efforts and to help combat it we've been lifting the lid on bins of over 5,000 residents to see if they are recycling right.

Our crews have been tagging residents bins with feedback cards and, if needed, providing suggestions on how to improve.

Don't get caught "wishcycling (https://www.cfpublic.org/environment/2024-04-25/recycling-experts-warn-of-wishcycling-as-rate-of-contamination-rises?utm_source=City+News&utm_campaign=47cb85f5d1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_01_07_03_07_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c482f52094-47cb85f5d1-80648119&mc_cid=47cb85f5d1&mc_eid=UNIQID) " and learn what goes where.

** Small business inside scoop
------------------------------------------------------------
There’s no shortage of places to take mom for Mother’s Day this weekend, with numerous businesses hosting brunches, workshops, outdoor activities and more. But if you and your momma want a simple, yet sweet outing, we encourage you to give the sweetest gift of all – your time and some homemade ice cream.

About two years into business, Marie Mercado’s second Orlando ice cream shop – Sampaguita – has not only been named one of the top 100 ice cream shops in the United States, but already made its way on to hit shows like “Somebody Feed Phil.” But if you go back to the beginning and ask Marie what she had in mind for Sampaguita, her vision was to simply pay homage to her rich Filipino roots, culture and her own family. Marie wanted to bring something that didn’t already exist – authentic Filipino ice cream and desserts – to Orlando and expose our residents to the unique flavors only native to her culture. To ensure every customer has the same experiences Marie did as a child growing up, each recipe is homemade, with some having been passed down to her through generations. And unlike Marie’s other ice cream spot, Greenery Creamery, which focuses on offering vegan-friendly ice cream, Sampaguita uses a large variety of different ingredients to create those flavors we would otherwise only
experience in the Philippines.

So, grab mom, and head to Sampaguita for authentic treats, and a sweet sit-down environment that’s completely worthy of an IG selfie with mom. Sampaguita is located at 1233 East Colonial Drive, or you can check out their website at sampaguitausa.com (https://www.sampaguitausa.com/?utm_source=City+News&utm_campaign=47cb85f5d1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_01_07_03_07_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c482f52094-47cb85f5d1-80648119&mc_cid=47cb85f5d1&mc_eid=UNIQID) .
