    Description

    Help us cleanup Oakland Chinatown

    OCA-East Bay (ocaeastbay.org) has been organizing this PickITup Chinatown program for the better part of 7 years. The goal is to teach community ownership through picking up garbage/litter, reporting problems to City public works and abating graffiti.

    We meet almost every Second Sunday of each month from 11am-2pm, meeting up at Wilma Chan (Madison) Park.

    We have had strong partnership from the following over the years:

    • Oakland Adopt A Spot Program
    • Alameda County Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas
    • Alameda County Supervisor Lena Tam
    • Asian Youth Services Committee
    • BuildOn Oakland High
    • Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce
    • Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council
    • Oakland Chinatown Coalition
    • Boy Scout Troop 201
    • Athenian School

    RSVP link: tinyurl.com/ocapickitup25

    Release Form for 2025 (fill it out once per year): tinyurl.com/ocapickitup

    This is a volunteer-run operation and we're hoping for people to join our team who might be interested in helping not only with the PickItup itself but also the setup/takedown and areas of pre-planning. For more info contact us at ocaeastbay@gmail.com
