SquashDrive is excited to partner with Keep Oakland Beautiful!

The Great American Cleanup is the country's largest community improvement movement that launches more than 30,000 programs with 1,200 affiliates and participating organizations convening millions of volunteers. Volunteers participate in a variety of activities focused on waste reduction, recycling, beautification and community greening.

This year, Keep Oakland Beautiful will mark the nationwide April 28 Great American Cleanup with an event along the Bancroft Median in East Oakland. Volunteers will pick up litter, weed, mulch, and prune the 33 blocks of the 50-feet wide median. Simultaneously, volunteers will work at Verdese Carter Park to build raised planter beds for residents to grow food. Additionally 15-20 fruit and ornamental trees will be planted at East Oakland PRIDE Elementary School. KOB hopes the volunteers' efforts will not only beautify the median and park but also create a greater sense of community and pride.

"In all of Keep Oakland Beautiful's projects, our goal is to create a positive sustainable impact throughout Oakland. Only through community support for our projects, can we sustain our efforts," said KOB board president Christopher Waters.

Keep Oakland Beautiful needs 500 volunteers to complete its Great American Cleanup project on April 28 from 9am to 1pm. Volunteers are asked to meet at Verdese Carter Park, located at 98th Ave and Bancroft Ave. Latex gloves, tools, and a light lunch will be provided; volunteers should bring a water bottle and can bring their own gloves or tools. For more information about the event, contact Rebecca Parnes at 510-613-2014 or rparnes@wm.com.
