City of Richmond’s MLK Day of Service Community Cleanups
The City of Richmond’s Office of Neighborhood Engagement is excited to host Community Cleanups at five locations across the city in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service!
We’re looking for 15–25 volunteers at each site to join neighbors in making a positive impact. This is a family-friendly event, and children are welcome as long as an adult accompanies them.
We’ll provide trash grabbers, bags, and safety vests. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gloves just in case we run low. Be sure to dress warmly and come ready to make a meaningful difference in our communities!
Together, we can help Richmond shine, grow, and thrive—one cleanup at a time!
