Fall Clean Team!

October 25, 2025 – A team of volunteers gathered on East 86th Street for our fall street cleanup. It was a brisk but sunny day for our most recent beautification effort. City Council candidate Virginia Maloney and State Assembly Member Alex Bores stopped by to meet our team of volunteers. A team from ACE Cleaners did a great job with sticker and graffiti removal. A team from our neighbor, Chick-fil-A helped out and brought a delicious lunch for our volunteers. We are grateful to all who showed up on Saturday, and to the generous donors who support us! If you would like to make a contribution toward future cleanups, please visit our donation page. Every donation makes a difference.

Clean Team – April 26, 2025

Volunteers braved the rainy forecast on Saturday morning to join the East 80s/Yorkville Alliance for a street clean-up. The Clean Team assembled to remove litter from the sidewalks and tree pits on East 86th Street. The volunteers are members of the community who come together to improve and beautify the East 86th Street corridor.


State Assembly Member Alex Bores rolled up his sleeves to pitch in, as did City Council hopefuls Vanessa Aaronson, Faith Bondi and Virginia Maloney. We were delighted to welcome new Clean Team members from our neighborhood Valley National Bank branch. A team from Ace Cleaners and our partners at Carnegie Hill Neighbors joined the effort. After all the hard work was finished, Chick-Fil-A donated boxed lunches for all volunteers. Interested in joining us next time? Join our mailing list here.
