Tidy Up Downtown- 6/20

A beautiful day in the neighborhood sometimes requires a little help from our neighbors. Come Downtown to help beautify the sidewalks and public areas with some tidying up. We'll be on litter patrol, cleaning benches, removing graffiti, and doing some light gardening. This is a great way to show your support for our locally-owned small businesses of Downtown and demonstrate your community pride. Come prepared for working in any weather by wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and closed-toed shoes. Please bring a refillable water bottle and work gloves if you have them. Please contact EJ at ej@downtownhillsboro.org if you are interested in bringing a larger group to participate.
