6th Avenue Corridor Neighborhood Clean-up and Picnic

April 26, 2014 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

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". (www.thelitterletterproject.com) SCHEDULE: The clean-up will start at the Salvation Army at 10am. Please check in there and we will assign teams with areas to pick-up. We ask everyone return to the Salvation Army by noon, where together we will fill the letters! Lunch and refreshments will be provided afterwards. We ask that you register via EventBrite so that we can plan accordingly for food. WHAT TO BRING: We will have garbage bags and non-latex exam gloves available. Please feel free to bring your own gloves if you wish. Also, you are welcome to bring a bag of litter collected from around your own home! Our event will take place rain or shine! If the weather is inclement, we will be inside for the picnic. Register here.
