Help pull trash out of the creek before it washes downstream into the river. Last year, 62 volunteers removed more than 900 pounds of litter in a single morning.
What to bring: closed-toe shoes you don't mind getting wet, a refillable water bottle, and sunscreen.
We provide: gloves, trash grabbers, bags, and breakfast tacos.
Volunteers under 16 must come with an adult. Students can earn 3 community service hours. Bring your school's service form and we will sign it.

Why “Gloves” is correct

Why the other answers are wrong
- Sunscreen — Sunscreen is on the list of things volunteers should bring.
- A water bottle — Volunteers are asked to bring their own refillable bottle.
- Closed-toe shoes — Volunteers must bring their own shoes.
