MANCHESTER, NH – The City of Manchester’s H.O.P.E. initiative has organized its first-ever “Boots on the Ground” community clean-up event, focused on abandoned encampments throughout the City of Manchester. This event, set for Aug. 20 at 8 a.m. and sponsored in part by SERVPRO of Manchester, aims at encouraging collaboration in the community while helping to beautify our city.
Servpro will host a post-event celebration of community on Aug. 21 at their headquarters, 187 Londonderry Turnpike, in Hooksett.
Still needed: sponsors and volunteers.
ServPro will provide all materials and additional support. In collaboration with the Manchester Fire Department, and the Department of Public Works, a ServPro team will remove all biohazardous materials from the encampments prior to the community-wide clean-up event.
All community volunteers are requested to fill out the registration form provided using this link by August 15 in order to be assigned an encampment prior to the clean-up day. For added fun, the teams will also compete with one another in a contest to see which group can pick up the most trash or the most unusual item. There will be prizes for competition winners. This will not only be a beneficial clean-up for the community, but a great way to get to know your neighbors!
Following the clean-up, on Sunday, August 21, from 1-3 p.m., all volunteers and sponsors are invited to the Boots on the Ground celebration and awards ceremony at ServPro of Manchester located at 187 Londonderry Turnpike, Hooksett NH 03106. We look forward to seeing you on August 20 for the First Annual Community Clean-up! With boots in hand, we can and will maintain and beautify the Queen City! See you there!
