The International Coastal Cleanup began more than 30 years ago when communities rallied together to collect and document the trash littering their coastline. GreenSpace Water Alliance (GWA) invites you to join in for this year's cleanup to help remove trash and debris from the shorelines of the Indian River Lagoon.

The event is FREE to participate in. The supplies for this event are allocated for each site based on registrations, so it is very important for you to register.

Every year this event engages people to remove trash from shorelines, lakes, rivers, and beaches around the world, identifying the sources of debris and changing behaviors.

No matter where you live—whether on the coast or thousands of miles away—all waterways lead to the ocean. If we take action and work together, we can improve the ocean’s health and make trash-free seas a reality.

For more information, please visit GreenSpaceWaterAlliance.org.

Elaine, a resilient woman from Charlotte, North Carolina, is in urgent need of help. Despite being wheelchair-bound due to multiple severe health conditions, including Chiari Malformation, liver disease, fibromyalgia, and osteoarthritis, she continues to stay active in her church and ministry. However, her once-beautiful flower beds and pathways have become severely overgrown, leaving her overwhelmed.

Elaine’s connection to the land runs deep. Before her disabilities took hold, she had a background in landscaping and even started a business selling flowers. Now, as she faces her daily challenges, she watches helplessly as her beloved garden becomes unmanageable. Elaine found our charitable organization through a voice Siri search, and we are now reaching out to individuals, groups, and organizations to come together and assist her in restoring her garden.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the life of someone who has given so much to her community. Let’s come together to help Elaine reclaim the beauty of her garden and bring some peace to her life.

Azalea hedges: about 5 1/2 feet tall, need to be cut down to stumps
Backyard grass: fenced in, about 4 inches (a few weeks ago) so it's much taller by now..

Homeowner mentioned she has a leaf blower, a weed eater, an electric hedge clipper, and a battery power lawn mower - all battery powered interchangeable with Ryobi that she can provide if you dont have your own equipment
