Description:

More than 25,000 volunteers have demonstrated their pride in Rochester by working alongside City crews to clean and beautify just about every street in the city. In addition to removing litter and debris, volunteers do such things as planting flowers, pruning trees and performing other neighborhood beautification projects.

Saturday Clean Sweeps begin at 8:30 a.m. where volunteers arrive to free coffee and donuts. They’re given a free t-shirt, assigned to a team and hit the streets by 9 a.m. Tools are provided, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own. They return to the staging ground at 1 p.m. for a picnic to build on the community spirit that is the most lasting benefit of Clean Sweep.

Once a specific project is assigned to us, I’ll update this site. Typically, supplies are provided. But feel free to bring your own work gloves.

We need your help to make these events successful – Please encourage people to attend -Family, friends and neighbors are most welcome.
