Volunteer Info: All volunteers are asked to park within the Dougherty Ferry lot at Kirkwood High School. Volunteers can pull to the back of the school and park in the small parking lot as available. Due to a large amount of traffic flow, we encourage entrance through the Dougherty Ferry lot and walk to the Essex Lot where the Spring Clean event will occur. Check in with the volunteer table to get your assigned station and reflective vest. We will be providing refreshments and some snacks. The weather is predicted to be sunny and cooler; plan accordingly for the elements. The Check-in table will be at the top of the Essex Lot. If you are a KDP Chamber member, please show off your company with logoed gear if you have it! Kids are encouraged to wear their school logoed shirts as well.
