Glendale Highway Cleanup 🛣🧹🦺

If you believe community service is a critical part of giving back locally we hope you join us as we clean the 2 Freeway in Glendale! We work with CalTrans to leave a cleaner, most sustainable future for everyone that lives here. Come join our efforts! Atheists United is a community nonprofit that provides programming for Greater LA's million+ atheists and agnostics. We've proudly been hosting highway cleanups in Los Angeles for almost two decades. **What to wear:** Close-toed shoes, long pants, sunscreen or long sleeve shirt. Dress in layers because it can start out cold and warm up later in the morning. We'll provide bags, gloves, and grabbers so you won't have to bend over to pick up trash. Minimum age to participate is 16. **Lunch or Refreshments:** We'll pick a place for refreshments after the cleanup **How long:** The highway clean-up will take about 2 hours; plus an optional get-together for refreshments afterward. **How to find us:** We'll meet at the Holly exit, off of the 2 freeway in Glendale (See map). Call Steve if you can't find the group 310-686-8862. **RSVP:** Please remember to change your RSVP to "no" if you can't make it. This is a common courtesy. This is also important because we can't do the cleanup with only one person attending, for safety reasons. 🔻🔻🔻 This group is sponsored by Atheists United.
