🌎 Gay for Good Community Cleanup on Como Avenue

Join the Great Northern Region for a meaningful morning of service, community, and connection as we participate in a Gay for Good cleanup along Como Avenue in St. Paul. This is a chance to show up together, give back, and build visibility for our club through service.

As part of Pride for the Planet, Gay for Good is bringing volunteers together to help keep the neighborhood clean, welcoming, and full of community pride. We’d love to have GNR represented with friendly faces and helping hands.

If you sign up using the GNR website, Earl will call you to walk you through how to set up your reservation with Gay for Good, as you are required to accept a liability waiver and agree to terms (for example, their media policy, which allows them to take photos of the event for their use).

Come lend a hand, meet fellow members, and help us represent GNR through service. It’s a simple way to make a visible difference together. 🌈🧤
