NEW DATE & TIME!
Meet us at Walter Pierce Park at 5:00pm to begin cleaning up trash and distributing both snacks and resources to community members who may need them. We're providing all supplies - no need to bring anything with you!
Weather and timing depending, there will be an opportunity to walk to other nearby parks to expand our reach. If for any reason you are running late and would still like to join us, please text Talia Jaffe at 339-223-6563 for our current location. At no point during the afternoon will we be more than a 10 minute walk from The Potter's House.
Safety Note: Wearing a mask will be required the entire time! Though we will be outdoors and chances of transmission are less likely, we take seriously the risk of gathering in person to do this work.
