Pick It Up, Vancouver! is part of a regional cleanup series that brings communities together, city by city—join neighbors downtown for a day of connection and collective care for the spaces we share.
Be part of a vibrant day of action in downtown Vancouver, where volunteers of all ages will come together to clean up streets, parks, and gathering spaces. This is more than just picking up litter—it’s about building connections, showing local pride, and helping downtown shine for everyone who lives, works, and plays here.
Join SOLVE for a litter cleanup at Esther Short Park as part of our “Pick It Up, Vancouver!” initiative! Help us keep this beloved community space clean and welcoming for all. The event kicks off at 10am with check-in, a safety talk, and supply distribution, and wraps up at 12pm back at Esther Short.
Afterwards, join us for a post-event celebration at The Hudson (101 E 6th St, Vancouver, WA 98660), conveniently just a couple of blocks away from Esther Short. Come connect with fellow volunteers and enjoy some well-earned pizza, generously donated by Hungry Sasquatch!
Come ready to roll up your sleeves, connect with others, and make a visible difference in downtown Vancouver. All ages welcome—let’s work together to keep our city looking its best!
