RVA Clean Sweep Sweeps up 30 in 30

. RVA Clean Sweep in Richmond has been awarded a $750 30 in 30 grant in the Litter Prevention Category. Our Thirty Grants in 30 Days program focuses greater resources and attention on organizations and individual localities throughout the Commonwealth and how they are addressing the issues of litter prevention, recycling, waste reduction, beautification and education.

KVB provided the opportunity for government, non-profit and/or service organizations in Virginia to apply for one of our 30 in 30 grants of $500 to $1,000 in three different categories: Litter Prevention, Recycling, and Community Beautification. These grants are made possible by Lowe’s Charitable & Educational Foundation and MeadWestvaco.

One street, park, and neighborhood at a time; this is the motto for RVA Clean Sweep. These weekend warriors take to the streets, parks, and neighborhoods of Richmond to clean up the litter and debris that is left behind. RVA Clean Sweep is gearing up to clean up all of Richmond before the 2015 International Cycling Championships. They understand the importance of making sure Richmond shines since the world will be watching. We want to help RVA make a difference in the fight against litter and we hope you do too. To get involved in their clean-up efforts follow them on Facebook and Twitter (@RVACleanSweep). If one person can make a difference, just think what a whole community of people can do!
