For Giving Tuesday we will be giving back to our Northside Community by hosting a community clean up!
We will be meeting at the Community Boys and Girls Club at 901 Nixon St. at 2 pm on 11/30 to provide supplies and instructions for the cleanup. We will have volunteers and trucks available for picking up trash as well - more details will be provided soon.
Immediately following the cleanup event, we will be having an optional pint night at Hi-Wire Brewing. A portion of proceeds from that night will be donated to our organization. It should be a wonderful community-building event, and we'd love to have you and your organization join us.
We will provide all the materials and instructions on the day of. For members of your group, this information may be helpful as they make plans to join us:
