We know that littering is an issue in all of our neighborhoods, and the 6th Avenue Corridor district is no exception! Help us celebrate Earth Day by picking up litter around 6th Avenue and the River Bend neighborhood! The litter collected will be used to create a public art installation on 6th Avenue - we are bringing the Litter Letter Project to Iowa and creating the word "THINK"! Join us on Saturday, April 26th, from 10am - noon for the clean-up. Afterwards, we will be hosting a free picnic lunch to show our appreciation! Please RSVP through this Eventbrite link to help us plan for food. More information is also posted on Eventbrite about where to meet and what to bring! Earlier in the week, students from Children and Family Urban Movement (CFUM) and Moulton Extended Learning Center will be picking up litter in their area, and filling the word "HOPE" during Moulton's Earth Day Garden Party on April 22nd. A representative from Keep Iowa Beautiful worked with the youth at CFUM, who ultimately decided "HOPE" was their perfect word! Interested in supporting the project but unable to attend the clean-up? We are planning to install a third word, "CARE", this summer before our Jazz in July event. The 6th Avenue Corridor is looking to fundraise an additional $1,000 to fabricate "CARE". Donations can be made through this secure PayPal link. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, all contributions are fully tax-deductible. THANK YOU to our generous sponsors: Metro Waste Authority, Metro Arts Alliance, Andrea Hauer, Martha McCormick, and CFUM donors! More information about the Litter Letter Project can be found on their website.
