Storm Sweep 2022 is Underway!

For this year's Storm Sweep, you can choose the cleanup location that best fits your schedule or participate in multiple cleanups. Create your own event and track your results in the Clean Swell app OR stay tuned to our social media pages for volunteer cleanup opportunities.

At the conclusion of Storm Sweep, we will be hosting our first annual Storm Aware & Prepare! We’ll be giving away hurricane prep supplies and information, and there will be information and activities for adults and kids too.
