Covington residents can now sign up for this Saturday’s Great American Cleanup, the city’s largest annual volunteer event.
“We’re grateful to see the community come together in support of keeping Covington beautiful,” said Jameela Saalah, director of program impact with the Center for Great Neighborhoods, in a press release. “The Great American Cleanup is one of our largest events each year, both in terms of volunteer turnout and cleanup sites. I’m continually amazed by what we’re able to accomplish together through this event.”
