Marshall Heights/Eastgate Weed & Seed Program 

The Marshall Heights/Eastgate Weed & Seed program is a local initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice to "weed out" violent crime, gang activity and drug trafficking through law enforcement and community policing, and then "seed" areas through prevention and neighborhood revitalization.

The Marshall Heights/Eastgate Weed & Seed Neighborhood Advisory Board organizes activities in the Marshall Heights neighborhood and supports four local Safe Havens -- places where youth can go after school to learn, grow and feel safe in their community.

Each Safe Haven offers a variety of services for youth and adults.  The sites teach youth to resist drugs and crime and avoid other neighborhood problems.  For more information or to volunteer, please contact one of the Safe Havens listed below.
