COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP COMES TO SOUTH NORFOLK

CHESAPEAKE -– South Norfolk will undergo a little spring cleaning when 450 volunteers take part in a community-wide clean-up on Saturday, May 3. Volunteers will be picking up garbage, relining crosswalks, and helping to beautify this part of Chesapeake. The bulk of the clean-up will take place from 8:00 a.m. until noon.

Volunteers for the South Norfolk Community Clean-up are made up of youth group members, civic organizations, businesses, churches, and City departments and offices. The 20 teams of volunteers have been assigned specific areas to focus their clean-up efforts. Garbage bags and “litter-grabbers” will be provided to each team.

A map and team list has been attached and/or can be found on CityofChesapeake.net to help find where volunteers will be the day of the clean-up.

A command center for volunteer coordinators and the media will be located at the 2nd Police Precinct, 1209 20th St. All questions and concerns on the day of the clean-up should be directed there by calling 545-8150.

The South Norfolk Community Clean-up, in participation with the Great American Community Clean-up, is sponsored by the City of Chesapeake, Chesapeake’s Neighborhood Services Department and Parks and Recreation Department, Bank of Hampton Roads, Belharbour Station at SoNo, Gateway at SoNo, Quick T’s Screen Printing, and Virginia Storage Systems.
