River Rescue

The River Rescuers are a fun group of dedicated volunteers! This group of repeat volunteers currently meet on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. They support the Clean and Green Team by doing pre-event and post-event site visits, removing trash sites that are not suited for a large community clean-up or too difficult to reach. They are a small but mighty team that helps remove up to 200,000 pounds of pollution annually!

If you have spare time every Wednesday and/or Saturday, are interested in meeting a great group of people, and want to make a difference for the River, then this may be the opportunity for you!

Each week, volunteers meet in a different location to remove targeted trash issues. Come prepared to get your hands dirty and work hard, but plenty of laughs along the way with this great team! The team meets at different locations each week, from 8am - 11am on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Volunteers must be 18 and up, and this program usually does not qualify for volunteer hour verification. Volunteers often work in environments impacted by homeless encampments, removing trash left behind when encampments are abandoned.

This is a twice a week recurring volunteer event which includes a core group of people who come out for each event.
