"We are mainly raking leaves and gumballs from the gumball trees and also collecting some trash around the outside area," he said.

"We are extremely excited people showed up on Saturday. We made it a part of the City-Wide Cleanup. We have two board members and the rest are volunteers and staff. Again, we are so excited for the participation."
