Mr Halfon and Essex County Councillor Jeremy Lucas, the cabinet member for environment and waste, will be at Passmores School and Technology College, Tendring Road, Harlow, CM18 6RW, for a photocall and interview opportunity at 8.45am on Thursday, June 23.
The Essex County Council initiative aims to be Essex’s biggest ever community improvement campaign.
This year’s campaign will build on the success of last year’s 'Love Where You Live Week'which saw more than 1,000 volunteers take part in 40 local clean-up events across Essex.
Passmores students will be supporting the campaign by taking part in their annual Community Day spending the day undertaking a wide range of projects to benefit the local community. 
The students work with a wide range of local people including younger children, older residents, disabled people and community groups.
Last year the Passmores Community Day won the competition for ‘Best Blog’ as part of Love Where You Live Week, and received £500 worth of DIY vouchers. It is a prime example of the type of activity that residents will be encouraged to organise for this year’s campaign.
Mr Halfon said: "I am delighted to be able to support this year's 'Love Where You Live' campaign and especially the efforts of the students at Passmores School and Technology College.
"Their efforts last year were a credit to the students themselves, their school and Harlow and it these sort of efforts which further illustrate how the 'Big Society' is alive and well in Harlow.
"I look forward to seeing what the youngsters will be doing to benefit their community this year."   
From July residents will be able to visit the new Love Where You Live 2011 website (www.goodforessex.org/lovewhereyoulive) and register their own event.
Everyone who does this will receive a free support pack to help them plan their activity.
