You can dub these kids “Team Clean.”
That’s exactly what San Benito’s newest community-led organization, Keep Our Resacas Clean, is, after all.
Led by 17-year-old Javier Perez of San Benito, the group targets trash buildup on the Resaca banks. With a steady group of about 10 volunteers, mostly San Benito teens, KORC works everyday from 6 p.m. until sunset.
The group’s mission is to keep the community trail beautiful and to raise public awareness about the environment.

I think they should be recognized for thier commitment at the next or a future city commisoners meeting.
I say these members of KORC need to be awarded Citizens of the Year for the next cycle! Great Job!
