Manager, Chelsea Russell, organized a team of volunteers from MBK to join OneHolyoke CDC for a day of cleaning as part of their initiative to clean Holyoke's streets. Ian, Mia, Carolyn and Cheryl joined the Director of Community Engagement and Resident Services, Nayroby Rosa-Soriano; Executive Director, Mike Moriarty; City Councilor, Tessa Murphy-Romboletti; Mayor of Holyoke, Joshua Garcia and a group of volunteers to clean about 2 miles of streets in Holyoke. Together, they filled ten bags of trash. 

 “This was such a great experience because it is easy to see your progress and the physical difference you can make in even such a short time! It was wonderful to help inspire others to go out and keep their communities clean with OneHolyoke as well” - MBK Volunteer

About Keep It Clean 2K22

OneHolyoke CDC is kicking off its citywide KeepItClean2K22 campaign, an initiative to clean Holyoke’s streets, at the Flats Community Building, 43 N. Canal Street on Earth Day, April 22nd 2022 at 10am.

OneHolyoke Community Development Corporation a nonprofit organization, will be hosting a cleaning campaign event at the Flats Community Building, 43 N. Canal Street in Holyoke, every fourth Saturday of the month, through September.

OneHolyoke will host one clean-up at Flats Community Building per month, with an additional three to four cleanups a month from our partners. Holyoke organizations are encouraged to volunteer to host their own cleaning events. We will also participate in cleaning events throughout the city hosted by other Holyoke Organizations.

The goal of #KeepItClean2K22 is to promote weekly neighborhood clean ups through fall with an end of the year city wide cleanup event.
