Help with UDistrict Spring Clean-Up And Shop at Farmers Market Tomorrow

If you're already headed to the U District this weekend to shop at the Farmer's Market for fruits and veggies, how about also stopping by the Ave and joining the University District Street Clean Up crew and "help make the District sparkle," Joe from the University District Food Bank wrote to us.

Tomorrow from 10am-1pm, the annual University District Street Spring Clean-up will take place.  It's always held the week before the popular Street Fair.

"Community members meet for breakfast, conversation and assemble in groups to go out into the neighborhood, in designated areas, to 'Spring Clean" up their neighborhood,' the website says.


Meet at the University Heights Center west lot on the corner of NE 50TH & University Way.

Here are some details:
