The Sandpoint Business
Improvement District (BID) is seeking volunteers, individuals and groups, to
help clean up area streets and public spaces on April 26.
The ‘Shake the Sand Out’
clean-up event will bring local businesses, community organizations and area
residents together to remove litter from streets in downtown Sandpoint, as well
as Sand Creek, prior to the start of the busy summer season.
The event will take place on Saturday, April 26, when
volunteers will meet at 8:30am in Jeff Jones Square. There, they will register and enjoy a light
breakfast, courtesy of the BID membership.
Participants will be assigned an area in downtown Sandpoint, then fan
out in teams to pick up litter, pull weeds and tidy up business corridors,
public spaces and Sand Creek.
Disposable gloves and bags will be provided. Volunteers are encouraged to dress for the
weather by wearing comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear, as well as to
bring gardening gloves or any additional clean-up tools they are comfortable
using. The event will wrap up at
11:30am back at the Square, where volunteers will be treated to lunch.
For information or to preregister,
please contact Kim Queen at 263-2161, or by email at kim@sandpointhchamber.com.
