George Moyer

We hate to see trash along the roads, and if we don’t do something about the litter, who will?

Stephanie Rzonca

No man is an island; everything that we do has a direct impact on others.

Steve Gilbert

There is such a deep-down, good feeling of picking up trash.

With Your Help

FAQ

How do donations work?

Make the check payable to "Community Foundation of Henderson County" with "KRCB" in the memo line.

I saw litter and want to clean it up. How can I do that?


We will coordinate the desired roadway to be cleaned up for you.  Contribute $100 for a one mile stretch. This includes both sides of the road.
