This is bigger than our regular park cleanups — it's a city-wide effort!

Let's show what our community can do together.

Help local kids start the school year strong! Donate and sort school supplies that will be distributed to students in need across Springfield. This drive directly supports the families served by our Homework Helpers tutoring program. Every backpack, pencil, and notebook makes a difference.
Grow a greener Springfield! Learn which native plants thrive in our local climate, how to replace invasive species, and how a well-planted yard supports pollinators and reduces water usage. Participants will take home a starter native plant to get their garden going.
