Calling All Volunteers: City Needs Extra Help for Great American Cleanup

Due to the December ice storm, recent flooding has caused an event greater need for volunteers for the May 16 Great American Cleanup. The Cleanup will utilize groups of volunteers of all ages from neighborhood associations, businesses, faith-based organizations, service groups, schools and scouting organizations that are willing to lend a hand. The City will provide gloves, garbage bags and t-shirts for the volunteers to clean up parks, neighborhoods, trails, roadways and riverbanks.

Registration is available online at http://www.cityoffortwayne.org/greatamericancleanup or by calling (260) 427-1120. Volunteers can select a location or the City can place them in an area of greatest need.

Volunteers will be treated to a post-clean-up party with food and prizes at Headwaters Park East from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 16.
