Annual Cleanup & Cookout
Saturday, May 16, 2026
9:00am–12:00pm
Location / Venue
Roll up your sleeves, it’s time to shake off winter and get the shelter ready for the sunny season.
Join us for our Annual Cleanup and Cookout at Pope Memorial Humane Society, where we’ll spend the morning tackling all the things that make this place feel fresh again. Think flower beds that need a little love, windows that have seen one too many snowstorms, siding that could use a scrub, gravel that needs leveling, and trails that are ready to be walked again.
There’s something for everyone, whether you’re handy with a rake, a sponge, or just willing to jump in wherever needed. Bring work gloves and any favorite tools (metal rakes are always a win), but don’t worry, we’ll have extras on hand too.
And because we know how to balance hard work with a good time, we’ll wrap things up with a picnic-style lunch around noon. Bring a dish to share if you’d like, or just bring yourself. We’ll have a potluck signup closer to the event.
It’s one of those days where you can see the difference you made by the time you head home, and you get to spend it with a bunch of people who care about the same things you do.
Save the date for Saturday, May 16th. We’ll share more details as we get closer, but for now, consider this your official heads up to plan for a little fresh air, a little elbow grease, and a lot of good company.
