The goal of this clean-up is to increase the safety, hygiene, and beauty of the Lents Town Center by cleaning up litter around the town center, as well as build community! This clean-up is part of the Fall in Love with Lents community weekender, which includes a “Really Really Free” Community Night Market, a local Artist Festival, a Community Connections Luncheon… and more!
Come to join us for the clean-up and stay for the festivities to follow!
