Massive volunteer cleanup in North Minneapolis

When:
Saturday, June 4 – volunteer registration begins at 8AM. There’ll be two shifts for volunteers – morning and afternoon.

Volunteers will register at Macy’s in Brookdale Mall, Brooklyn Center. They’ll be transported by MTC busses to sites throughout North Minneapolis.

Who:
More than 2,000 volunteers will be taking part. People who did not pre-registered already can not volunteer. The City of Minneapolis is organizing and leading the cleanup.

Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity is developing an all-new Disaster Recovery Program specifically to respond to the new needs of North Minneapolis.
