Weed It & Reap: Fall edition

The Northeast Minneapolis Chamber and Litter Be Gone seek volunteers for Weed It & Reap, Northeast’s bi-annual Community Clean-Up Days, on Oct. 4, 5 and 6. Volunteers are needed for a variety of self-determined shifts. For more than 20 years, hundreds of volunteers from businesses, local schools, athletic teams, faith groups and community service organizations have given a few hours of their time during the first full weekends of May and October to pick up litter on their blocks, boulevards, sidewalks, streets, alleys and community green spaces to make the streets clean. Volunteers receive a free t-shirt, and the thanks of the community. The chamber supplies vests, gloves and garbage bags. Supplies can be picked up at the Northeast Chamber office, 2329 Central Ave. NE, on Oct. 4 and 5 from 9 am-5 pm as well as Oct. 6 from 9 am-2 pm. Northeast Chamber staff will also be available to drop off and pick up supplies. Sign up to volunteer online at mplschamber.com/weedit.
