Cleanup Columbia 2009 was a big success!






Today was the 13th annual Cleanup Columbia!! With about 2,200 volunteers pre-registered and beautiful weather, we were anticipating a big day. The preliminary reports from 62 groups who have reported help us estimate that:
  • 1,695 volunteers participated
  • Volunteers picked up 2233 bags of trash
  • Participants logged on average 1.84 hours
  • Total volunteer hours shared is 3,131

What a fantastic turnout! Thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who shared their Saturday to give their a community a helping hand. We will start making plans next week for Cleanup Columbia 2010... we'll keep you posted!
