Volunteers to Beautify Downtown Ambler & Collect School Snacks for Mattie N. Dixon Community Cupboard

Ambler, PA, September 14, 2022- Volunteers are encouraged to join Ambler Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) members in a litter and cigarette butt clean up, tree pruning and school snack food drive initiative on Saturday, September 24, 2020 from 9 a.m. to noon. Individuals, families and small groups of volunteers are invited to meet at Ambler Borough Hall, 131 Rosemary Ave, Ambler, PA 19002. Bags, gloves and tools will be provided. Only PHS Certified Tree Tenders or arborists may prune trees.

“Pick, Prune & Provide is a great way for the community to come together in keeping Ambler beautiful and helping our children as they head back to school,” explains Ambler EAC Member, Nancy Roecker-Coates. The EAC is asking volunteers and residents to help fight hunger by bringing or dropping off school snack items that will be donated to Mattie N. Dixon Community Cupboard. Items such as water bottles, juice boxes, fruit cups and snacks are needed.

The Ambler EAC is an Environmental Advisory Council made up of community residents, who are appointed by Ambler Borough Council. Members devote time and energy to assist elected and appointed officials in protecting the environment. Popular EAC programs include: Make Ambler a Shade Better tree sales and planting, Adopt a Tree and Pick Up PA clean up events.
