The ‘park clean-up’ runs from 9-10am and we meet in the park. Please note, in case of inclement weather, FPCA will send a cancellation notice to all FPCA members around 8 a.m. the morning of the clean-up.
If you can’t attend the clean-up but perform a clean-up on your own, please send an email to foundersparkalexandria@gmail.com with the volunteer(s) name, date of the clean-up and duration (15 minutes counts as a clean-up).
In addition any litter-picking on Sunday evenings or Monday mornings will be particularly helpful because the park will be inspected on an unannounced Monday morning.
