We will seek out locations most in need if your group does not have a place in mind. We provide safety vests, trash pickup utensils, trash bags, gloves and water. We co-ordinate with government officials and post official signage during the campaign to make your Volunteer Day a great success. We ensure proper removal of trash.
Corporate and group donations directly fund our general operating expenses and our mission.
Visit the Volunteer Opportunities section located on the Calander tab and sign up, or just show up! We bring all supplies and water. All ages welcome, under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. 3 and older can usually work a grabber pretty well and surprise you with their ability!
