"Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." - Dr. Martin Luther King JrFor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Holiday, Nspiregreen participated in the 5th Annual Pope Branch Clean-up. Over 200 volunteers came out to pick up trash from Pope Branch Park and the decommissioned CSX rail tracks, in addition, to clearing the Pope Branch Creek of leaves and other organic materials.
We collected several bags of trash, in addition to large items such as TVs, bikes, propane tanks, mattresses, and tables. Several organizations were there to support the clean-up: Pope Branch Alliance, Anacostia Waterfront Initiative, Groundworks Anacostia, Sierra Club, Youth Build, Conservation Corps, DC Water, DC Department of Public Works, and USAID.
Nspiregreen is glad we could be part of the day.
