Antioch Police to Host Neighborhood Cleanup Saturday at Gentrytown Park

by ECT

Antioch Cleanup

The Antioch Police Department will host its 47th installment of the Neighborhood Cleanup Program Saturday and will have Congressman Jerry McNerney and Assemblyman Jim Frazier in attendance. The event begins at 9:00 am and will take place at Gentrytown Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.

This is a collaborative community effort which involves active participation from United Citizens for Better Neighborhoods (UCBN), community volunteers, and the Antioch Police Department Crime Prevention Commission; Neighborhood Watch Program, Target Volunteers, Volunteers in Police Service, community volunteers and the Public Works Department.

Collectively, “We”, everyone who works and lives in the City Antioch, can make a difference and improve the quality of life. It’s our community and it’s our chance to make a difference.

The City of Antioch Neighborhood Cleanup program is not just for residential neighborhoods. It is a program that will change venues on a monthly basis and it will include business and commercial areas as well. Neighborhoods that are free of trash and refuse are inviting, and a clean community instills a sense of community pride.

The 47th Neighborhood Cleanup event will occur on Saturday, November 2nd from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.  Volunteers should report to the east parking lot of Gentrytown Park which is accessible from the 1600 block of Monterey drive (dead end of Monterey drive).

Volunteers will receive instructions and the equipment necessary to accomplish the goal. The targeted area is within walking distance.  Excluding inclement weather, future Neighborhood Cleanup events are scheduled for the first Saturday of every month and the locations will be announced in advance.

Remember, cleaning up your neighborhood can make life better for your family,
your neighbors and your community!
