Annual Spring Clean Up

Saturday is our Annual Spring Clean Up! This year generous donations from Bradken and Cargill will allow us to serve lunch to our volunteers!

Bank of Atchison and MGP Ingredients have issued challenges to their employees to get involved so we expect great participation!

We have numerous sponsors who donate money, trash bags, and gloves. The entire city is mapped out and volunteers are given specific areas to clean up.
This year is especially important after one of the most difficult winters in recent history.

The County of Atchison is funding a truck to pick up old tires. We will accept up to 8 tires from each person with an Atchison County license plate that brings them to the Santa Fe Depot until the truck is full.

The following businesses have contributed to the Clean Up campaign : A Touch of Class, Atchison County, Atchison Dental Associates, Atchison Eye Center, Atchison Hospital, Atchison Tree Board, Bank of Atchison, Berger Company, Blish -Mize, Bradken, Bunge Milling, Cargill Ag Horizons, Colonial Realty, Consumer Oil, Exchange Bank, Free Country Design & Construction, Jim Duitsman, JD Farris Law Firm, Kansas Gas Service, L&L Construction, MGP Ingredients, Main Street Decorating, McDonald's, Tate Plumbing & Construction, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Unit Rail, and Wal-Mart

THANK YOU to each and every one! And THANK YOU to the many volunteers who will help on Saturday!! It is a huge community effort that certainly pays off!!
