Better late than never. Since this past Wednesday was Global Running Day, we wanted to do a shoutout to our Flying Pig Charity Team. About a month ago, the first weekend in May, we had 30 people on our team participating in the 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, or Full Marathon (and a few people did a combination of the events!) at the Flying Pig in Cincinnati. This was our fourth year as a Charity Partner, and we’re grateful to the Flying Pig for the opportunity to engage and recruit supporters, and to everyone who joined our team.

If you’re interested in future running and walking events, we plan to do a couple more plogging events this year, and we will be opening registration for our New Year’s Day 5k in the fall. Happy running!

➡️ If you need a compost bucket, we dropped off more!

The weather has been amazing lately! Last weekend we dropped off more compost buckets at on E 5th Street and at 2nd Street Market at the Welcome Wagon

…Then of course we had to get something sweet from 😋

Do you have any socks lying around that are beyond repair? Or single socks that lost their partner? You still have a few days to get your socks to either of the locations (Dayton and Troy) to recycle them through the second cut project. You will find these boxes in the stores through 4/30. Clean, unbundled socks, but any brand or material accepted!

This mighty crew of 2 walked around Burkhardt this morning, collecting 10 bags of litter, 3 tires and other debris as part of the Living City Project. We witnessed what we thought was a baptism on the steps at Holy Family, and chatted with a few people in the neighborhood. Afterwards, popped in to La Monarca Ice Cream and Tacos for the first time, since it was right around the corner from where we met. Big menu with lots of choices, a huge selection of ice cream and desserts, and plenty of seating inside.

Great job Declare and Public Works for another successful citywide cleanup event!
