We collected various items from “Free” piles. Once again, kindly consider donating these items to thrift stores or disposing of them properly at the dump. Items left in “Free Piles” are vulnerable to weather conditions and often deteriorate, becoming unsightly. Homeless individuals may search through them, leading to us having to remove them from sensitive outdoor areas. It’s important to raise awareness among your community about the negative effects of “Free Piles” on our surroundings – it can be considered littering. The majority of the discarded items were from the housed community.

Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, we were able to fill up the dumpster and make a significant impact. If you’re interested in supporting our weekly cleanups, please consider donating raffle prizes such as gift cards or items with a value of around $10-$20.

Support the people, organizations and businesses that protect our beautiful open spaces!
