Hundreds of Volunteers Expected for East and West Side Clean-Ups
Free Pancake Breakfast, Graffiti Removal, Tree Planting
On Saturday, October 12th, volunteers taking part in Looking Good Santa Barbara’s annual City Clean-Up will fan out from both the east and west sides of the city to address pressing community needs. Diverse families, businesses, faith, and civic organizations will spend their Saturday morning side-by-side in support of a safe and clean Santa Barbara.
Several hundred volunteers are expected to participate in a variety of neighborhood improvement projects including litter pick-up, graffiti removal, creek clean-up and tree plantings. Project supplies and equipment will be available at the two meeting locations – Calvary Baptist Church and Ortega Park. The event will kick-off with a free pancake breakfast at Calvary Baptist Church and culminate with a family friendly celebration at Ortega Park.
Support is being provided by MarBorg Industries, the Kiwanis Club, Santa Barbara Beautiful, New Life Church and Calvary Baptist Church.
