Fred Meyer Earth Day Kick Off at Director Park

We’re gathering at Director Park to celebrate the start of Earth Month, dedicated to caring for our planet, with Blaze the Trail Cat, a live DJ, snacks, and giveaways! 🌎

Together with Fred Meyer, we’ll spend the morning removing litter, connecting with neighbors, and setting the tone for a month of collective action across Oregon and SW Washington. Whether you’re a longtime volunteer or joining us for the first time, your time and energy make a real difference! ✨
