Beautify Fresno is celebrating its 4th annual Great American Cleanup on Saturday, April 20 with 20 locations to serve neighborhoods all across Fresno!
Keep America Beautiful’s 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 20 individual cleanup and beautification events on Saturday, April 20, 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 Thank You After Party in the Grizzlies’ H Street parking lot across the street from Chukchansi Park for free food, music, and fun!
