Esther Short Park - Pick It Up, Vancouver!

Join SOLVE for a litter cleanup at Esther Short Park as part of our “Pick It Up, Vancouver!” initiative! Help us keep this beloved community space clean and welcoming for all. The event kicks off at 10am with check-in, a safety talk, and supply distribution, and wraps up at 12pm back at Esther Short.

Afterwards, join us for a post-event celebration at The Hudson (101 E 6th St, Vancouver, WA 98660), conveniently just a couple of blocks away from Esther Short. Come connect with fellow volunteers and enjoy some well-earned pizza, generously donated by Hungry Sasquatch!
