Paws for a Cause: Central Eastside Cleanup!

Join us for a community-wide effort to clean up our local area before the much-anticipated Doggie Dash with Oregon Humane! Volunteers of all ages will come together and make a positive impact on our environment. Armed with gloves, litter grabbers, and bags, we'll comb through the neighborhood, ensuring a clean and safe environment for our four-legged friends and their humans alike.
