Please join TMC and the Dallas/Fort Worth Platoon for our Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Project. Volunteers will be participating in the 5th annual Fish Creek Clean Up Challenge, beautifying 8 miles of the Fish Creek Linear Trail. Volunteers will meet at Craven's Park and disperse from there along the 8 miles of linear trail. In previous years volunteers removed over 14 1/2 tons of trash from Fish Creek, Fish Creek Linear Trail, connected parks, and surrounding wooded areas. With support from the City of Arlington and the City of Grand Prairie, all volunteers will need to do is bag it up and get it to the paved trail or nearest designated area. Check-in will start at 8 AM. The cleanup will begin at 8:30. Lunch afterward starting at noon. Come for 30 minutes or all day. Some tools will be provided as well as bags and gloves. Lunch and bottled water provided but we ask that in efforts to help conserve the environment that you bring a filled reusable container of water. With 8 miles there is LOTS of room to social distance! Gift card prizes for various categories. Must be present to win. We will also be holding a food drive. Participation is not required for you to donate canned goods or other nonperishable items. Donations will benefit Arlington Charities.
