Anyone can host a Neighborhood Cleanup and the HNA would love to help! Contact us by any method below and we’ll assist you in organizing one for your block or area you feel is need within Hermosa.
Contact the Hermosa Neighborhood Association to help with promotion and supplies:
Contact Your Neighbors, Friends and Nearby Schools
Neighbors: You may not have contact information for your nearby neighbors, but this is a great opportunity to becoming a block leader. Leave a note on someone’s door to recruit residents, post on social media and gather a phone and/or email tree to get people involved.
Friends and Family: Your friends or family don’t need to live on your block to help you clean. You can invite them over (with masks) to gather outside safely and make it a social (distancing) affair.Your Nearby Elementary School: If you live close to a school, call the school to let them know the date and ask them if they can promote this on their social media channels or with school families. It’s a great way to get to meet school staff and families, even if you don’t have school-aged children.
Your Nearby High School: All Chicago Public Schools high school students are required to log a certain amount of volunteer hours. By contacting the school or posting in a school Facebook group you can promote the cleanup with students. The student will need a non-profit or supervisor to sign their logged volunteers hours so the HNA can help with this.
