City of Pittsburg: Adopt A Spot Volunteer Program

Adopt A Spot Volunteer Program

Help Keep Pittsburg Beautiful

Posted Date: 5/2/2012

The Adopt-a-Spot program allows you or your organization to adopt a park, creek, street, trail, or plaza and to assist with the painting of benches, walls and buildings within our community.

The Pittsburg Neighborhood Improvement Team, in partnership with individuals, neighborhood groups, civic organizations, and local businesses, would like the community to take ownership, responsibility, and pride in our public areas. You can make a visible impact in your neighborhoods and reduce pollutants such as trash from entering our waterways and the Delta.

An Adopt-a-Spot project can include many different types of activities. It may be as simple as picking up stray litter in your local park once a month, or it may be a longer-term project such as weeding, planting, and maintaining a specific area. The Adopt-a-Spot program can accommodate an array of volunteer interests and goals.

The City will supply your group with gloves and trash bags and groups with proven commitment will receive a courtesy sign naming you or your organization. We are asking that your group commit to cleaning/maintaining your adopted area at least once per quarter (or 4 times a year). One time community improvement projects are also available for interested parties.

For more information or to sign up call 925-252-4936 or visit www.ci.pittsburg.ca.us.

End of Day Note:  On this beautiful Spring day, it was remarkable (but not surprising) to witness the fine, cheerful, large turnout of citizens (young and not) who were working along both sides of the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway -- filling bags with refuse.  Civic pride is alive and well here, and today was further proof.  Thanks to all, for a beautiful job, well done!
