Sign up today to help keep your favorite park or greenway clean and healthy by picking up litter! A great way to spend an hour AT LUNCHTIME by getting outdoors and helping in your community. 

Park on the street near Tom Hunter Park, address listed here - this neighborhood park has no parking lot.

Below are a few tips and reminders for a SAFE & PRODUCTIVE Volunteer experience:

  • Wear long pants and long sleeves for protection from scratches - Dress for the weather!
  • Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes – REQUIRED, NO sandals, Crocs or flip-flops. Wear OLDER shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty, wet or muddy.
  • Bring your own heavy-duty work gloves extras will be available; litter pickers and trash bags are provided.
  • Wear a hat and sunscreen for protection from sun exposure.
  • Bring your own water in a large, refillable water bottle (in a backpack, if possible), to stay hydrated, avoid the need to refill, and to protect the environment from single-use plastic bottles. A water cooler for refilling will be available. 

If you have questions, or if you have a group who would like to help on a different day, please contact the Park & Recreation Volunteer Coordinator at Karen.Howard@MeckNC.gov or 980-314-1046 (office).
