Here is as message from the Venice Chamber.

Join us and Venice Community Cleanups for our first pop-up cleanup of the year!

Bags, trash grabbers, and gloves will be supplied.  Plus there will be coffee and donuts for all volunteers to show our appreciation for all of your hard work in keeping our beloved Venice Beach clean!  For questions, or to rsvp as a volunteer, email Ashley McGullam or call 818-669-0670

Brennan Lindner, a Venice resident since 2007, was driven to start the pop up crews after noticing  an accumulation of trash around Venice in recent months. Finding this unacceptable, and with a little more time on his hands since his company Generic Events had to pivot to the virtual world, he decided it was time to take charge rather than wait for the City to do something. “It’s a great way for stakeholders to be active in their community and make a direct impact where you can immediately see results,” said Lindner.
