The Cities of Littleton, Englewood, and Sheridan (the Tri Cities), and South Suburban Parks and Recreation, are partnering with the arc Thrift Stores and Inter-Faith Community Services for the Epic Spring Cleaning event, Saturday, April 17 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Pirates Cove Aquatic Park, 1225 West Belleview Avenue in Englewood.
According to Littleton Mayor Doug Clark, charities are in need of donations to meet ongoing demand. “The Epic Spring Cleaning event is a chance for people to clean out their closets while supporting Colorado-based local charities that in turn support people with developmental disabilities, their families and the under privileged,” Clark said.
Residents are invited to bring gently used clothing, household items and furniture to the drop off site. They’ll receive a tax donation slip in return. Small electronics will be accepted but no paint, motor oil or chemicals. Food and toiletries will also be collected.
Sandra Blythe-Perry, Inter-Faith Community Services executive director said, “We’re excited to partner with arc Thrift Stores in this wonderful event that will have a meaningful impact for people in need throughout our communities.”
Volunteers are needed to assist participants in unloading donated goods at the drop off site and placing them in boxes for distribution. If you’d like to help, contact David Diedrich with arc Thrift at 720-299-3120.
In case of inclement weather, the event will be held the following Saturday, April 24 at Pirates Cove.
