Hey y'all! As a result of lower than anticipated registration, we have decided to postpone the August 22nd River Arts District Clean-Up. We understand that the beginning of the school year is a busy time for many, so we have not determined a new date yet. Keep an eye out for the updated date! Thanks! 📆🍄

Thanks to our friends Clean Frequencies and DJ Hair by Derek, volunteers whipped the Sand Hill Fruit Orchard back into shape for the Fall harvest. We bounced while weeding, mulching and trimming these public trees. A Silent Disco was a super fun way to volunteer and vibe. This orchard is located at the Buncombe County Sports Complex in Candler and its open to the public. We raise the fruit organically so you don't have to worry about harmful chemicals. Check out Clean Frequencies for more Silent Disco/Volunteer events.
