Community Clean Up: Mary Elmer Lake in Bridgeton

We are looking for volunteers like you to help us clean up our community! Each month we will pick a few locations to focus on and share the impact online. 

Due to social distancing and risk of over crowding, we are asking volunteers to clean up at a time that works best for you, either on the day we choose or a more convenient time for you during that week. The day we promote is the day we will personally be there picking up litter. 

Things to remember:

• Practice social distancing. Safety is our number one priority. 
• We suggest wearing gloves and be on the look out for random fishing hooks (i saw alot of fishing wire while I was there).
• Bringing only the amount of trash bags that you and/or family can carry out of the location. Bags will get heavy, so please consider where on the trail you will start collecting litter.
• Take before and after pictures of specific spot you clean.
• Take pictures of the bag or bags of trash that you collect.
• Take selfies or group shots as a family.
• Share your pictures on social media and tag us @hopeloft with hashtag #bridgetoncleanup and #hopeloftvolunteer 
• Or send pictures to hillary@hopeloft.com with name of individuals who volunteered. 

This helps us share the impact we are making as a whole!
