Let's Level UP I Love a Clean San Diego & UPLIFT San Diego!

Thank you for joining my efforts to raise funds for two of my favorite nonprofits! I Love a Clean San Diego and UPLIFT exist to make transformative impact in San Diego. I believe in both of these organizations wholeheartedly. I serve as Executive Director for I Love a Clean San Diego and have supported UPLIFT for several years. More importantly, I have witnessed with my own eyes and heart the incredible impact these groups make for our local environment & vulnerable populations. Here are website links to learn more:

About I Love a Clean San Diego - 
Our Mission - I Love A Clean San Diego leads and inspires our community to actively conserve and enhance the environment through example, outreach, and local involvement. Our Vision - A zero waste, litter-free, and environmentally engaged San Diego region.

Important announcement! 36th Annual Virtual Coastal Cleanup Day is going virtual on Saturday, September 26, 2020 in San Diego County. Register to join the county’s Official Coastal Cleanup Day coordinators, I Love A Clean San Diego, and be a part of the global cleanup effort by removing polluting litter and debris from your community throughout the day on September 26th. Volunteers of all ages are invited to grab buckets and work gloves (or whatever you can round up and repurpose from around the house – we have ideas for you!) and walk your block with your household to stay close to home and protect the health of our community and our environment. Whether you’re coastal or inland, it all makes a huge impact on the health of our waterways and oceans – Protecting the coast begins at your front door. https://www.ilacsd.org/

Become a citizen scientist! An important part of this event is collecting data on the types of litter that volunteers clean up; we look to you to be citizen scientists and report back on your litter findings! This data helps give us a snapshot of what is impacting our region year to year. A link to a form will be sent to all registrants to help us gather that data. Your cleanup and findings will be shared on our Volunteer Impact Map to track cleanup totals, all day long, countywide!

Need help with supplies? For those volunteers who do not have cleanup supplies or internet access to submit their data, Supply and Data Hubs will be stationed throughout the county, hosted by our Community Champions, where volunteers can pick up bags, gloves, and data cards and pencils to keep track of litter data, and return completed data cards. Registration is required to receive these materials.

Registration opens Tuesday, September 1st at CleanupDay.org: Officially sign up on September 1, 2020 and then get ready to clean up your neighborhood on September 26. Registered volunteers will receive important safety and virtual event resources and information to have a successful cleanup. Contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Jackie Blumenthal, to register by phone if you do not have internet access: (619) 787-2604. Throughout the month of September, I Love A Clean San Diego will be sharing educational videos, zero waste tips and tricks, waste and recycling guides, and messages from our partners to prepare you and get you pumped for the big day. Learn more about patches, community service verification, contests, and more at CleanupDay.org!

UPLIFT URGENT COVID related needs include:

  • Program funding for added staff & tech equipment transitioning our FREE Kids At Heart Tutoring from site based to virtual platform to support distance learning for low income students, who are especially at risk of falling behind in school right now.
      
  • Flex funding for homeless housing support to assist with COVID Convention Center resident placement. About 1200 unsheltered there. No pressure! 

If you want to make a huge difference, please consider joining my team, starting your own team to support another favorite non-profit too, or if you have the means to give, please consider supporting our team with a generous donation. Any amount is greatly appreciated and will help us Level UP the transformative work of both these great organizations during this time of great need. 

Gratefully,
