We are partnering with Unity Garden near the Kettering Dayton (formerly Grandview) campus for a cleanup in the neighborhood around the garden.

Make a Difference Day, which takes place the 4th Saturday of October, is the largest day of community service in the United States. We have been organizing Litter Cleanups on Make a Difference Day since 2021. This year, we will be doing an alley sweep mostly in the Burkhardt neighborhood on Saturday, with prep work for Saturday occurring during the Friday session. The prep work will involve going through the alleys and putting things in piles, and also collecting loose trash in bags.
