Saturday: Antioch Police to Host Neighborhood Cleanup

The Antioch Police Department is excited to announce the 54th installment of the Neighborhood Cleanup Program will occur on Saturday, August 2nd from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the neighborhoods surrounding Marsh Elementary School.

Volunteers should report to the parking lot of Marsh Elementary located at 2304 G Street.

This is a collaborative community effort which involves active participation from The Antioch Police Department Crime Prevention Commission; Neighborhood Watch Program; 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.

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!
