Great Millersville Cleanup

Thanks to our volunteers and supporters!

You made our 2024 spring cleanup and “Trashure Hunt” a big success.

Thanks to 27 pairs of helping hands and more wonderful supporters, our Great Millersville Cleanup, held on May 18th, was a smash!

These good people did a geat thing! They’re amazing. They stepped up. Pitched in. And made a huge difference in making our community a place we can all be proud of. The litter may never end, but we’ll keep fighting.

Six volunteers were lucky winners in our first-ever “Trashure Hunt” and won either a $15 gift card to Lincoln Square Pancake House or a $10 gift card to Starbucks. A few may still roll in. Congratulations to all!

Now we desperately need help watering fresh flowers. Please, if you can help, even a few times this summer and early fall, see our Volunteer page now.
