Big ups to the female student athletes that came from all over NorCal to compete in a volleyball tournament hosted by Sacred Heart, which pairs the event with volunteering. Thousands of pieces of litter removed from Jefferson Square Park and Playground, making it clean for all.

An impactful One Richmond Cleanup along Clement, Geary, California, and the Avenues thanks to regular volunteers and new & returning student volunteers from @usfca. 10 bags of trash collected then hauled away by @sfpublicworks who were also out keeping the city clean. #teamwork

Love to see cleanup collabs - this morning at Ocean Beach, @instawork and @UCSFHospitals Anesthesia joined forces to pick up litter along the shoreline. Many hands make light work. The feedback was they had a great time chatting with colleagues and seeing the beach so clean.

Two groups of students from Lick-Wilmerding HS came out to help us clean SF as part of their school-wide service day. Sophomores joined our regular Masonic Cleanup and tackled litter in Laurel Village. Juniors spread out in the Fillmore neighborhood to clean. Go Tigers!

Incredible haul to kickoff Good Neighbor Week in San Francisco, where 475 volunteers cleared 500+ bags of trash at 29 citywide cleanups this past weekend. It's easy to be good a neighbor and every day is an opportunity to do something positive for the community. – at San Francisco, CA

A very impactful cleanup with Gateway High School students this morning, who came out to clean the neighborhood around their school in Western Addition, as part of their schoolwide service day. They filled multiple bags of trash and left the parks, sidewalks, and streets clean.

Can’t ask for any better weather for a beach cleanup. Back out here at Ocean Beach with the 7th grade class from Burke’s School who fanned out to pick the beach clean, taking note of the different types of litter that’s polluting the environment.

Another big impact made by the team from Trinity Life Sciences who came out to Ocean Beach for a 2nd year in a row. They spread out along the beach and boardwalk picking up a lot of plastic microliter - easy to skip by unless you’re looking to remove it from the environment.

We organized 33 citywide cleanups in San Francisco this past weekend, with over 500 volunteers coming out to clear 540+ bags of trash. It just happened to be the 42nd Annual Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday and SF showed up to protect the environment as a coastal city. – at San Francisco, CA

About 75 volunteers and 65 bags of trash collected by us, and several others groups out at Ocean Beach this morning, SF showed up for Coastal Cleanup Day! Got interviewed by @abc7newsbayarea, hopefully some more awareness on the beach cleanups and attracting new volunteers.

Back it with students at Minerva University, an international school that spends their first year in San Francisco and who have been volunteering with us annually. We cleaned from their residence hall along Van Ness to Aquatic Park and enjoyed this beautiful weather & city’

We got a head start on California Coastal Cleanup Day tomorrow thanks to the teams from @Riveron__ and Accordion who came out this morning to clean up Ocean Beach. They filled a dozen bags of trash, but much more to do, so hope to see many volunteers at cleanups this weekend!

Another nice turnout for the monthly Rise & Grind Cleanup, including two new parents of a 6-week old baby boy. 8 bags of trash cleared from the surrounding neighborhood and nearby areas of Golden Gate Park. Then, some great conversation over coffee.

It’s the little things. We’ve cleaning the medians along Geary in the Inner Richmond to see what it takes to keep them clean, and surprisingly, it doesn’t take much other than consistency. Been doing some extra by cleaning the crosswalk of leaves, weeds, & dirt.

Cheers to the @campari for organizing a beach cleanup with us for their Campari Day of Service yesterday! They gathered volunteers from their industry contacts in hospitality and food & beverage to come out. A great effort with several people filling 3 full bags of litter each.

It's always a good time to keep SF clean, but the amazing weather over the past weekend didn't hurt, and we had a tremendous turnout (even for our high standards) with over 600 volunteers cleaning 630+ bags of trash from our local environment. Thank you all, let's keep going! – at San Francisco, CA

Pocket Garden(ing) in Laurel Village this morning. More volunteers than needed came out to plant the end cap at Mayfair and Laurel, a spot that had been overgrown and trashed for years before the local community came out to care for it. Much more to come, so stay tuned.

In honor of 9/11, a National Day of Service and Remembrance, and coinciding with Transit Month, we organized a cleanup along the 1 California Muni Route. Along the 5.5-mile and 5-hour journey, dozens of volunteers joined us along the way and removed 40+ trash bags of litter.

Getting prepped for Dreamforce with a great group of volunteers from @salesforce who came out to clean in SOMA this afternoon. Got to visit the 61st floor and get some stunning views of one of the most beautiful cities in world.
