Safe Yakima Valley’s First Virtual Clean-Up Was a Success!

First off from everyone at Safe Yakima Valley, thank you to all who participated, shared the info, and encouraged themselves, the kids, siblings, and friends to get out, enjoy the sunshine, and clean-up their own neighborhoods.

This month has been crazy! The Keepin' It Safe 2020 Neighborhood Cleanup kicked off on September 11th and ran through September 28th, 2020. Normally this clean-up is a big event with a party and a large crowd but this year we asked that everyone keep it to their own neighborhoods.

As soon as we started encouraging everyone to get outside, the fires started raging and the smoke was too much, keeping everyone indoors. We weren't sure if it would clear-up in time but thank goodness, blue skies began to appear and everyone got to work. You don't think about just how much trash there is until you really get going and before you know it you've filled bags and everything looks so nice. Even though we've wrapped up the project, there is no shame in continuing to keep it clean while staying safe.

We had loads of prizes to give-away to the over 150 participants including custom Ray-Bans provided by Hogback Development and tomorrow on-air at 3:30 pm on 107.3 KFFM we will be giving-away the grand prize, an awesome head-set, keyboard and mouse pack!

Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 pm the following prizes will be drawn Wednesday Drawing: 2 Sadies's Hawaiian Xpresso, Hogback Development baseball hat, Subway of Yakima, Kingston Gaming package
