Creek to Bay Packing Party

Our 16th Annual Creek to Bay Cleanup is fast approaching on April 21st!

At last year’s event, 6,588 volunteers removed over 194,169 pounds of litter from over 112 sites throughout the county, a groundbreaking event!

With an event of that size, we have to start prepping and packing very early, and we need your help! We are looking for volunteers to assist us in the preparation for the 2018 Creek to Bay Cleanup at our Packing Party. At the Packing Party, we will be assembling boxes of supplies for our numerous cleanup sites. With your help, we can make this year’s Creek to Bay Cleanup an even bigger success than the last!

Volunteers will report to our office in Liberty Station to help out on the days and times below:

 

MONDAY 3/19 10AM-4PM
TUESDAY 3/20 10AM-4PM
WEDNESDAY 3/21 12:30PM-4:30PM
THURSDAY 3/22 10AM-3:30PM
FRIDAY 3/23 10AM-4PM

 

Whether you sign up for a full day or just a few hours, we would love your help! Community service hours and Letters of Appreciation will be provided for any volunteers that need them. If you or anyone you know are interested in lending a hand, please sign up by contacting our Community Programs Coordinator, Carly Keen, by email at ckeen@cleansd.org with your availability!
