Choose Goleta THIS Saturday and Celebrate Earth Day with Us
Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.
Beautify Goleta is going BIG in celebration of Earth Day and wants you to be a part of it. We have a great first part of your Saturday, April 20th planned for you. It all starts at 9:00 a.m. with a Community Cleanup at Bella Vista Park (intersection of Padova Drive and Placer Drive). Volunteers will get a free cup of coffee from the Considered Coffee Bar and a limited edition Beautify Goleta Earth Day 2024 t-shirt while supplies last. The family friendly event will include a MarBorg Touch-A-Truck for the kids and food for purchase from Elubia’s Kitchen (please bring your own reusable utensils and coffee cup). That’s not all, there are other Beautify Goleta Earth Day activities happening at the same time including a cleanup at Ellwood Beach and a Bulky item Drop off at Brandon School. Here is what you need to know before you go.
