Richmond keeps cleaning

Richmond will be busy Saturday morning. Two neighborhood improvement districts, Richmond Corridor Association (RCA) and the Port Richmond Industrial Development Enterprise (PRIDE) will host community clean-ups, building upon this month’s earlier city-wide effort and continuing a neighborhood tradition.

For PRIDE, volunteers are asked to meet at the corner of Tulip and Ontario Streets, and can register by emailing Sandi King. The event begins at 8 a.m. and there will be refreshments and hot dogs for participants.

RCA’s clean-up begins at 8:30 a.m. at William Parker Associates at 2845 E. Westmoreland Street. Volunteers are encouraged to “bring gloves and a whole lot of energy.”
