Let’s Do A Litter Cleanup?
KBVB is not letting COVID stop us from our mission of ending litter. We know we can still hold cleanups, which are so needed now, safely. Please consider volunteering.
Just an hour of your time can make a huge a difference in taking care of where we live. I hope you can join us at one of these programs.
