    Posted on by

    We’re excited to announce the return of the McKownville Fire Department’s Neighborhood Cleanup — now in its third year! Join us this Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 1:00 PM at the firehouse at 1250 Western Avenue, rain or shine, as we come together once again to help keep our community clean, safe, and beautiful.

    Over the past two years, this event has brought neighbors, families, and volunteers together in the spirit of service. We’ve picked up roadside litter and made real improvements to our shared spaces — and we’re looking forward to building on that success again this year.

    We’ll provide gloves, trash bags, and light refreshments. Just bring your energy and community spirit! Just an hour or two of your participation makes a big difference.
