Hillsdale & Multnomah Neighborhood Groups SOLVE Litter Cleanup

Calling All Community Clean‑Up Heroes!
The Hillsdale & Multnomah Neighborhood Associations are joining forces to give our neighborhood some love—and we want you on the team!

Volunteers will check in at the Mittleman Jewish Community Center, then pick a cleanup zone that matches your vibe. Prefer a relaxed neighborhood stroll while picking up litter?  We’ve got that. Feeling bold and ready to tackle a bigger challenge with a short drive? We’ve got that too! No matter your energy level, there’s a way to jump in and make a real impact.

Wanna show your school spirit? You can even choose Ida B Wells High School as your location, they need help with light improvements to their courtyard and garden areas. 

Got Littles? For those who prefer not to pick up litter or garden, we will have a native seed ball making station, you can make seed balls to take home and gift to the community. 

And because good deeds should come with good perks…
Local businesses have donated TONS of amazing gift cards, and every volunteer will be entered into a raffle. Clean up the neighborhood, meet and visit with your neighbors and maybe go home with a prize? Yes, please.

Grab a neighbor, throw on some comfy shoes, and come help turn teamwork into tangible change. Let’s make this cleanup fun, feel‑good, and unforgettable!
