Glendale, CA

Over 600 residents took part last year by volunteering their time to help beautify various locations throughout the city. Volunteers were teamed up with city staff to work on a variety of beautification projects including litter and trash pick up, weed abatement at abandoned properties, park trail projects, and more. After helping keep the city clean and beautiful, our dedicated volunteers return to the kick-off site for a community barbecue, entertainment, and prizes! All volunteers receive a free commemorative event t-shirt.
