Back Where It Started, With New Friends

On November 23rd, we returned to North Park Community Park, this time alongside Dharma Bum Temple for our first-ever collaborative cleanup.

It was everything we hoped community service could be: simple, meaningful, and shared.

By the numbers:

  • 9 volunteers
  • 58 pounds of trash removed
  • 1 park, visibly better than we found it

North Park Community Park is where LocalCleanup held its very first event back in January. Coming back here with a partner organization felt like a full-circle moment, and a sign of things to come.

Why partnerships matter

We believe cleanup work is better when it's connected. Partnering with Dharma Bum Temple brought new energy, new hands, and a shared sense of purpose. Their community's focus on mindful action aligns perfectly with what we're building: service that's grounded, practical, and leaves people feeling better than when they arrived. Interested in bringing your organization on board? Learn more about corporate and community partnerships.

This is the first of what we hope will be many collaborations.

To everyone who showed up on the 23rd: you made this happen. 58 pounds of trash doesn't remove itself. You did that. Want to understand the bigger picture? Read about why community cleanups matter.
