Opportunity Details
MLK Day of Service - Shelby Park Enhancement - Trash Pick Up
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a wonderful time to serve your community! Join us on Saturday the 14th to help keep Shelby Park beautiful!
Join Friends of Shelby and your friends and neighbors as we clean up litter along the Cumberland River to restore the natural beauty of this public space and keep litter off the ground and out of our streams and rivers. This is a great opportunity for everyone!
We will meet, break into small groups, and spread out across the area to pick up litter. You may walk up to two miles total over the course of the event. This activity will take place outdoors.
What to bring?
I would recommend bringing your own water bottle. Water, gloves, snacks, and all needed tools will be provided. Please check the weather on the day of the event and dress accordingly. Comfortable shoes are highly recommended!
What’s next?
If you sign up for this event, you will receive a reminder email a few days before the event with specific instructions regarding parking and any other necessary information. Any questions? Feel free to send me an email at cayty@friendsofshelby.org. We hope to see you out there!
If you decide not to attend a project, please log in to hon.org and remove yourself from the opportunity ahead of time so that another volunteer may have a chance to fill your slot. If you have any trouble with this, email hon@hon.org and we’ll be happy to help!
