Honored with City of Atlanta "Community Recognition Award"

Clean Walks, established in October, 2021, is proud to share our accomplishments for the year 2023. Throughout the year, we organized a total of 15 impactful events, bringing our cumulative event count to 33. Our dedicated team of 349 volunteers contributed a remarkable 1,100 volunteer hours to support our mission.

As part of our commitment to create ecleaner and healthier communities, we conducted cleanups in three counties: DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett. Notably, our advocacy efforts led to authorities committing to regular cleanups, twice monthly, along Sidney Marcus Boulevard, marking a significant step forward in fostering a cleaner environment in Atlanta, for Atlantans.

We are thrilled to have received recognition for our efforts, including an award from the Department of Public Works for our contributions to the City of Atlanta. Over the past two years, our collective impact has been substantial. With the help of 800 volunteers, including 300 students, we've successfully removed an astounding 50,000 gallons of trash from areas including Atlanta, Brookhaven, and Duluth. Additionally, our commitment to community well-being is evident in our return of 50 shopping carts to local businesses.

As we reflect on our journey since inception, we are grateful for the support and dedication of our volunteers, partners, and the communities we serve. Together, we look forward to continued success and a cleaner, brighter future for all.
