Spring cleaning is not reserved for just for your home. There’s a neighborhood outside your front door that could use a little sprucing up.

If you’re looking to volunteer some time on Saturday morning to help clean up a park, street or some other part of your neighborhood. Here’s a list of different clean ups happening around the city.
