GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP

Keep America Beautiful is celebrating the Great American Cleanup’s 25^th year, between March 21 to June 22, and Fresno is joining in the fun!

The Keep America Beautiful Great American Cleanup™ (GAC) is one of the largest community service events in the nation. GAC takes place nationwide during the spring as part of Earth Day celebrations and prompts individuals to take greater responsibility for their local environment by conducting grassroots community service projects that engage volunteers, local businesses, and civic leaders.

Beautify Fresno is hosting 17 individual cleanup and beautification events on Saturday, April 22, involving more than 1,500 volunteers. All events will take place between 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Once the cleanup events are over, volunteers are invited to attend a rally in the H Street parking lot across the street from Chukchansi Park for free food, music, and fun.
