Community Clean Sweep 2020 – Volunteer Event
What an AMAZING day we had!
Thank you to all the amazing volunteers that showed up to the co-op to make a difference beautifying the neighborhood! We had quite a few people walk by the event tent remarking on how nice it was to see people out picking up garbage- we collected so much! We will continue to think of clever ways to involve you amazing co-oppers in future do-gooding adventures.
Thank you again! Here are some photos from the event.

TO VOLUNTEER
To volunteer to be part of the Community Clean Up Crew, please use the form below, or email marketing@abundance.coop with your name, phone number, and a note of interest in Volunteering for the Clean Up Crew. You will be contacted to confirm details and will receive a confirmation email with all the finalized details once you are officially registered. We ask that all volunteers be at least 16 years of age.
PLEASE NOTE: We have very limited tools for gardening, and though we have tried reaching out to our local tool lending library, we are unable to get our hands on more as of right now. It would be amazing to have available volunteers that are able to bring in their own gardening gloves, and a spare tool or two for them to use. Rakes, Hoes, Hand Digging Tools, Pruners, etc. For those volunteers that will be picking up garbage and recyclables, we have plenty of gloves and bags.
