Join Keep Sarasota County Beautiful on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at Rothenbach Park for a morning of community service and positive impact. This will be a classic litter removal volunteer initiative. Locally, as part of the Greatest American Cleanup, a nationwide initiative led by Keep America Beautiful (KAB), we’re uniting with volunteers across the country to remove litter, revitalize public spaces, and make our communities cleaner and more vibrant. Learn more about this impactful movement at KAB.org.

Volunteering offers benefits beyond just a cleaner community such as:

• Protecting the Environment – Removing litter helps keep local parks, streets, and waterways clean, benefiting wildlife and public health.
• Building a Stronger Community – Working together fosters a sense of unity and civic pride, making North Port a better place for everyone.
• Personal Growth & Skill Development – Volunteering enhances leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, which can be valuable in school, work, and beyond.
• Creating a Sense of Fulfillment – Giving back provides a rewarding experience, knowing you’ve made a tangible difference in your community.
