The nonprofit Chicago Parks Foundation (CPF) is leading a new citywide volunteer initiative to help keep the city’s 600+ public parks clean. “Pitch in for the Parks!” invites community groups, corporate teams and individual volunteers to participate in this season-long effort. Park budgets have been stretched thin this year and there are fewer seasonal employees. In partnership with the Chicago Park District and communities across the city, CPF is providing trash pick-up supplies, volunteer coordination and safety guidelines to support the parks’ ongoing maintenance throughout the summer. Volunteers can learn more and get involved online at chicagoparksfoundation.org/pitch-in. Safety guidelines are aligned with the Chicago Park District’s response to COVID-19 and the latest City of Chicago information. Learn more at www.chicagoparksfoundation.org.
