THRIVE Knoxville is looking for volunteers for their community clean up crew.

This crew meets on certain days in different locations in Knoxville to pick up trash and spruce up the local parks for visitors and community members. The group has met five times already and there are two dates left if you are interested in helping beautify the Knoxville community. The upcoming clean up crew dates are July 17th at the Knoxville Rec Center and Knoxville High School from 4:00-5:00pm and July 20th in the downtown area from 8:00-10:00 am. Katrina Nelson with THRIVE says that they normally do the clean up in the spring, but with big events coming up they decided to move it later.

“This year with RAGBRAI coming to town later this month and nationals rolling in this August we decided to postpone our clean up efforts from the spring to now the later and middle time of the summer.”

If you are interested in volunteering you can just show up or with any questions you can email THRIVE at thriveknoxvilleia@gmail.com. Garbage bags are provided.
