MLK Day Cleanup is Coming Up!

Let’s make a positive impact together

MLK Day Clean-up crew

Join in for a meaningful day of service at Irving Park as we honor Dr. King’s legacy through a community litter cleanup. This event is a great opportunity to give back and help beautify our neighborhood while coming together in the spirit of unity and service.

Volunteers will first check-in, grab supplies, and receive a brief safety speech to ensure everyone is prepared. The event will officially kick off Monday, January 20th at 10 AM, with participants working together to clean up litter and improve our shared spaces.

By taking part in this MLK Day of Service event, you’ll be contributing to a cleaner, healthier community while honoring the values of service and equality. Let’s make a positive impact together!
