MROD Volunteers Corps Cleanup Coming to Sunland-Tujunga!

Posted on 10/20/21

Sunland-Tujunga Community Council

In a collaborative effort to beautify neighborhoods throughout Council District 7, Councilwoman Rodriguez created the MRod Volunteer Corps. This Volunteer program augments her other ongoing cleanup initiatives (such as Operation Bright Spot, in which crews clean main commercial corridors). MRod Volunteer Corps members consist of local residents and business owners who volunteer for community cleanup and beautification projects. If you are interested in joining our volunteer corps, please register at https://bit.ly/3hYd1d8 and sign up to volunteer in your neighborhood.

Save-the-Date for upcoming MRod Volunteers Corps Cleanup here in Sunland-Tujunga. On November 6, from 9a-11a, MROD will be hosting a large cleanup of problem areas throughout Sunland-Tujunga, including Foothill Blvd and Commerce Avenue, as well as some of our local parks. MROD will be providing a large dumpster, tools, gloves, and trash bags. Team MRod, Operation Bright Spot crews, and the Volunteer Corps members will all be participating, and community members are invited to join us in this rewarding project to help transform public spaces. Refreshments will be provided, and masking will be required to keep participants safe. Please mark your calendars.
