Clean Sweep is moving to East St. Louis on Saturday, September 29. Clean Sweep is a partnership between Better Family Life, the Regional Business Council (RBC), some of the region’s top construction companies and neighborhood residents in some of the metropolitan areas hardest-hit neighborhoods.
The last Saturday of each month since June, Clean Sweep has waged war on vacant building, trash, overgrowth, litter, derelict cars and has brought new life, and employment opportunities to residents in these neighborhoods. The effort has demolished some 45 structures, cleared over 100 miles of alleys, cut down over 75 over grown trees and bushes, and created over 10 full-time jobs for residents of the neighborhoods targeted.
Individuals interested in volunteer opportunities for the East St. Louis Clean Sweep on September 29 should contact the East St. Louis Mayor Jackson-Hicks’ office at 618-482-6601.
