2016 CLEANUP SCHEDULE

All cleanups are scheduled for 3 hours on a Saturday starting at 8:00 am. Please so kindly RSVP to the cleanups via KIBCU “contact us” page or on KIBCU’s Facebook page. View calendar below for additional information on cleanups and other community events!

SUPPLIES: We will provide all of our volunteers with cleanup supplies (gloves, buckets, trash bags, few pickers, etc) and a light snack. We will NO LONGER offer bottled water as this goes against our beliefs of consuming and using less single-use plastic.
