Love Hartford Week
Every October, KNOX also holds a citywide cleanup where, over the course of a few days, hundreds of volunteers are empowered to clean and restore Hartford neighborhoods by:
- picking up litter and debris
- removing graffiti
- painting
- planting flowers and greenery
The volunteer opportunity is available to residences, school groups, churches, businesses, and organizations.
Register now and select a public space. KNOX provides everything you need: trash bags, litter picks, rakes, brooms, gloves, and other donated materials.
