Unity in Service: MLK Day Cleanup

Join us for a meaningful day of service at Irving Park as we honor Dr. King’s legacy through a community litter cleanup. This event is a great opportunity to give back and help beautify our neighborhood while coming together in the spirit of unity and service.

Volunteers will first check-in, grab supplies, and receive a brief safety speech to ensure everyone is prepared. The event will officially kick off at 10 AM, with participants working together to clean up litter and improve our shared spaces.
