Community rallies for major cleanup initiative this September

During a recent government meeting, Evelyn Nunez, the community service administrative assistant, announced an upcoming series of community cleanups in Hobbs, coinciding with National Cleanup Month in September. The initiative aims to engage residents in beautifying the city and fostering community spirit.

Nunez detailed that volunteers can register to participate in the cleanups, with forms available both in-person at the city office and via email. The registration deadline is set for Friday, September 6, just before the first event. The cleanups are scheduled for three dates: September 13 at Lovington Trail, September 21 at Marlin and Donahue Avenue, and September 29 at Pedigree Lane and Conquistador Lane.

The events are designed to be family-friendly and encourage participation from youth organizations, businesses, and non-profit groups. Nunez emphasized the importance of community involvement, stating, \"We would just love to see the community come out, put our efforts together to keep Hobbs clean and beautiful.\"

Promotional efforts for the cleanups will include social media announcements and flyers distributed through the City of Hobbs' platforms. The initiative not only aims to enhance the city's appearance but also promotes physical activity and community engagement among residents.
