It’s Great American Cleanup Season here in Mississippi! (See Gov. Phil Bryant’s proclamation.) Volunteers across the state are picking up litter, planting trees and shrubs and improving their communities.

The Great American Cleanup is the country’s largest community improvement program that kicks off in more than 20,000 communities each spring. This national program engages 2 million volunteers who take action in their communities to create positive change and lasting impact.

It’s official! Gov. Phil Bryant issued a proclamation that it’s officially Great American Cleanup Season in Mississippi.
