The Foster Park Neighborhood is organizing a group of volunteers to participate in this year’s Great American Cleanup on Saturday, May 1, 2021.
This is a fun, all-ages opportunity to hang out with friends and neighbors while beautifying the community. We had a great time with this event in previous years and hope to grow the size of our volunteer group.
We will plan to clean up nearby Indian Village Park (Bluffton Road across from The Clyde) and the surrounding area from 9am-11am on Saturday, May 1st.
The City provides garbage bags, gloves, and t-shirts for all volunteers who sign up in advance. Please REGISTER ONLINE no later than Thursday, March 8th to guarantee a t-shirt.
Don’t hesitate to contact board president Kody Tinnel at fosterparkneighborhood@gmail.com with any questions.
Thanks in advance to all willing and able to chip in a few volunteer hours to support the community!

Enjoy cruising or walking around our neighborhoods to take in the holiday displays and listen to the festive music being played. Along the way, you can grab a free cup of hot chocolate (while supplies last) at The Friendly Fox, where volunteers will be collecting non-perishable food donations for Community Harvest. Email the association if you have items to donate but prefer to have them picked up from your home and taken to the collection site. We are happy to help!
Other local businesses will be offering special discounts, including discounted pre-order (by 4pm) carry out wine and charcuterie boards from Antonuccio’s Italian Market, $6 one topping pizzas from Tasty Pizza, and $5 ricotta donuts at Chance Bar.
Several candy stops will also be located throughout the participating neighborhoods (including a couple in our neighborhood: 1135 W. Foster and 1305 Sheridan) and a virtual scavenger hunt will give you unique items to look out for. Check out the event page for maps and details.
Even if you prefer to stay in for the evening, make sure to turn on those decorative light displays for all to enjoy! Thanks to all those participating by hosting a candy stop, playing holiday music, displaying scavenger hunt items, or otherwise celebrating our neighborhood.
