Westport is partnering with Northeast Christian Church to have a campus cleanup event as a part of their Love the 'Ville campaign on Sunday, July 27th at 9:00am.
At each school volunteers will assist with the following:
Pull weeds in landscape beds
Spread mulch
Trim bushes
General cleaning
If you have tools or supplies that support any of those jobs, feel free to bring them with you. Also, if you have a wheelbarrow and a way to transport it, it would be helpful to have.
TOOLS YOU ARE WELCOME TO BRING:
Rake
Hedge Trimmer
Loppers/Pruners
Water – plenty of water.
Work gloves if you have them; we will have a few available at each site, but not enough for everyone.
