Clean-up

Since 2002 PCDC has sponsored an annual clean-up in the Barton Street neighborhood on the Saturday in April closest to Earth Day. Funded in part by the RI Department of Environmental Management and the RI Justice Commission, this event brings neighborhood residents and other volunteers together to pick up litter, to sweep and to rake up vacant lots and other areas of the neighborhood that have collected debris over the winter months. Children and adults work together to beautify the neighborhood and then enjoy a cook-out together.
