READING, April 16, 2012 — State Sen. Judy Schwank is partnering with Spring Clean Berks, in conjunction with The Great American Clean Up, to hold an upcoming cleanup initiative in the 11th Senatorial District.

Individuals of all ages are welcome to volunteer at the clean up, which will take place on Saturday, May 5 from 9 a.m. to noon at various Berks County sites to be determined.

“Spring cleaning isn’t just an annual chore for households. Even the outdoors could use some sprucing up,” Schwank said. “This clean up is designed to improve our community’s environment by safely removing and reducing debris in our neighborhoods, and I invite everyone to join us for this fun and beneficial event to make our communities look even more beautiful.”

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Great American Clean Up will provide the necessary supplies, which can be picked up that morning at Albright College at the Rockland Professional Center, Boscov’s East Department Store, and Kutztown University.

For more information and to volunteer, contact Schwank’s district office at 610-929-2151.
