It's time to roll up your sleeves and get dirty for a good cause. 

This Saturday, April 20, neighborhoods across Chicago will be participating in the annual Clean & Green Day. The effort is a way for residents to get together and clean-up their neighborhood parks and public spaces.

Community groups register to receive tools and bags so they can equip volunteers to help beautify their favorite green space.

The 19th Ward has several community groups who have registered for the event and will be leading the clean-up efforts on Saturday. To participate, choose the location you would like to help at and send an email to the designated group to express your interest.

If you have students looking for service hours, it's a perfect opportunity. Contact Maureen at the 19th Ward Office by calling (773) 239-8776.
