Rotary Litter Pick with We Heart Seattle Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to Noon

Location:  Exact location is TBA and will be announced on Facebook a few days prior.   We Heart Seattle is constantly scanning the city for where a volunteer crew is needed most.   We’d all like more advance notice for our personal planning purposes, but please be patient with the process.  There is a fair amount of pre-work that goes into making a site ready for us volunteers. We Heart Seattle is a non-profit that comes alongside homeless encampments to clear trash.  This is a harm reduction strategy for the people living there and also a beautification strategy for our city.  Along the way, We Heart Seattle offers people living outdoors referral services to housing and drug rehabilitation services.   Rest assured that if the homeless encampment we are working near is inhabited, We Heart Seattle will get permission from the residents before we clean.  It’s not uncommon for the residents to come out and clean with us.  Wear sturdy hiking boots and layers for the weather. And if you have one, wear your “Rotarian at Work” T-shirt or Rotary Hat.  They show up great in photos!  We Heart Seattle will supply gloves, PPE, picking tools, garbage bags and other cleaning supplies.  This service project is appropriate for volunteers aged 13 years and older.
