Marion County Litter Task Force kicks off, still asking for public feedback The Marion County Litter Task force held its first meeting this past week to curb littering and illegal dumping across the community.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I apologize for the late update. I was really hoping to be able to make this cleanup still happen but unfortunately we been dealing with illness running through the family (not covid thankfully). Today another family member in the home had to make a visit to the ER so we are still not past it.
I will update you on the September cleanup asap and some other stuff I been working on to make our cleanups a continued success!!
Thank you for being a part of this great movement in our community!!!! This truly is not possible without you ❤

Cleaning up our community!! Come be apart of the solution 😊

The rain ⛈ caused us to reschedule our July 3rd cleanup to July 10th. It looks promising so far.

This Saturdays cleanup in the Shores has been Rescheduled to next Saturday, July 10th, 9am-12pm. The chance of thunderstorms is to high to risk having our volunteers out in the open.
We hope you will be able to still join us next Saturday. We appreciate each one of you very much ❤

Good morning!! I want to let you know that we are still on for Saturday. We are keeping a close eye on the weather to see if we will be as fortunate as last cleanup and miss the rain.
I will keep everyone updated via email, text and post on our page to make sure I don't miss anyone.
If the weather is not in our favor, we will move to the following Saturday (July 10th).
I appreciate every one of you.

Another exciting cover!! This makes me so joyful to know others want to make a difference along with me! This is going to take over Marion County and make so many positive changes! I look forward to growing with each one of you.
