KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY CLEAN |
|
|
We have held two official community clean-ups so far. The first clean-up took place on October 29, 2022. Over 4000lbs of trash was removed! Our second community clean-up was a multi-park effort. In January, we held a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. Teams went out to beautify the following communities: Lincoln Park, Mountain View Park, and Mt. Hope. We are grateful for our volunteers and the support of the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA, I Love A Clean San Diego, The Optimus Consultant Group, Apex Athletics Academy, and Districts 4 and 9 for being amazing partners in the effort to keep our community beautiful! |
