Then grab your work gloves! This spring, your community needs you to join the Great American CleanupTM by participating in a pick-up, clean-up or green-up project near you. Events are being held throughout Hampton Roads from March through May, and there's something for all ages and abilities. Come as an individual, group or business. All are welcome! Check for events in your city to find a project that interests you-and check back often as new ones will continue to be added over the next few weeks.

You'll have fun and meet new friends.
There's nothing like digging into a messy project to make you feel connected to the people around you.

It's the right thing to do.
Participating in the Great American Cleanup is a chance for Hampton Roads as a region to do our part to "Keep America Beautiful," while contributing to transformational projects we can enjoy in our own communities and neighborhoods.
