Chester Uplifting Program

07/31/2020

Chester City Sweeps Project would like to invite everyone out for 2 hours to assist with cleaning up our community. This event has attracted more out of town support during the previous dates; while we love their support, but would also like to see more familiar faces.

Chester Sweeps purpose goes beyond picking up trash and debris. Its about demonstrating C-pride in our homes and community.
If you haven't made it to one of outings; this is your chance to show your love for Chester, PA. Join us August 15, 2020 at 10:30am to enjoy refreshments before starting our cleanup. Check out pictures from our previous outings.

Often times Chester is associated with negativity as a city. It is rarely acknowledged as the beautiful home we all know. As a city we have to re-establish the C-Pride all over our hometown. Although The City receives funding for parks and other public areas, our side streets (where residents live and see daily) are overlooked and crowed with trash.

Please join us on Saturday June 20,2020 for the first of many “Chester Sweeps” projects. Our HUB location will be Chester High School and assignments will be distributed upon arrival.

Refreshments will be available from 11:30-12pm
Clean-Up Start Time: 12pm Noon-Sharp ‼️
Clean-Up End Time: 1:30pm Sharp ‼️

Assignments will be given upon arrival.

Trash bags, plastic gloves will be provided while supplies last. Please feel free to bring your own supplies. MASKS ARE HIGHLY SUGGESTED. WE ARE IN PHASE YELLOW BUT ACT ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION.

This is open to the Public anyone and everyone is welcomed to attend. Youth under 15 are encouraged to attend with another volunteer Please invite friends and neighbors to participate. 🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤
