Clean Up the Hood + Ryan Harris Tribute | June 28
Join us for a powerful day of purpose, unity, and community pride! We’re taking over the streets of Englewood from 10AM–2PM to clean up our blocks—from 66th & Green to 64th & Stewart and all the blocks in between —and we need YOU to help us make a real impact.
Expect good vibes, group leads guiding teams, music to keep the energy up, snacks to fuel the movement, and a chance to earn community service hours (perfect for students)!
Then from 2PM–4PM, we’ll head to Ryan Harris Park for a heartfelt tribute to Ryan Harris, the 11-year-old girl whose life still inspires our mission. We’ll have performances, refreshments, and a slideshow presentation to honor her and uplift her memory.
What to bring or donate: black trash bags, gloves (all sizes), face masks, water bottles, hand sanitizer.
Donation drop-off spots: Family Dollar at 66th & Halsted OR Englewood Center, Room 217.
This is more than a cleanup—it’s a movement. Let’s show the world what Englewood is made of.
