Fun Ways to Get Involved in Your Community
Here at Tri County Pallet, we love doing everything we can to stay involved in our community. After all, nothing feels better than giving back to your own community when it is in need. Below listed are a few organizations that you can get involved with in the Akron community.
Stuff the Bus Summit County Sort-A-Thon
Something coming up very soon in the Akron community is the sorting of all of the donations from the Stuff the Bus in Summit County. Generous donations were given to help North Highschool and grades K-6th. Now that the donations have been collected, it is time to sort them for the schools. Register to volunteer on August 12, 2022, between 9:00 am-12:00 pm or 12:00 pm -3:00 pm. You can register here.
Keep Akron Beautiful - Litter Clean Up
A beautiful community is something that anyone living in Akron wants. Keep Akron Beautiful (KAP) is an organization dedicated to keeping Akron clean and sprucing it up for the community to enjoy. KAP has picked up 204,940 pounds of garbage, planted 34,041 flowers, cleaned 33 graffiti sites, and has 26,927 hours of volunteer work from the community.
The litter clean-up is a great way for you to get involved with the organization and community. They provide gloves, litter grabbers, trash bags, and hand sanitizer. KAB does ask its volunteers to dispose of the litter on their own in an appropriate manner. Register here!
