Big Kenmore Clean Up!

Volunteers are needed for the event, which draws as many as 100 residents and friends of Kenmore to get the village spruced up for the warmer months. Participants weed Kenmore’s many small public gardens, trim shrubs, sweep sidewalks and pick up litter. 

Last year, KVIS President Melissa Foster said, volunteers filled at least 50 trash bags with litter that ranged from the strange (a discarded doll’s head) to the all-too-common (many cigarette butts). 
Volunteers work along Delaware Avenue, Elmwood Avenue, the Kenmore side of Military Road and Kenmore Avenue, in Mang Park and, if possible, along Delaware Road. The event will take place rain or shine.

Participants are asked to meet at 9 a.m. April 25 at the Village Green at Delaware Road and Delaware Avenue, and to bring items such as brooms, rakes, garden tools and gloves, if possible. Trash bags will be provided. The event is a great opportunity for student volunteers; children with adult supervision are welcome.
