Keep Mission Beautiful seeks volunteers, plans junior program and supports tire roundup recycling
Summary
The group said it will launch a volunteer subcommittee, promote signups via QR codes and social media, develop a junior Keep Mission Beautiful program for students, and highlighted the city tire roundup that collected thousands of tires.
Mario Cantu urged residents to take a first step and sign up for volunteer opportunities, describing a planned volunteer subcommittee and using social-media QR-code signups to connect participants. "Just still take that small step," Cantu said, encouraging individuals who may be hesitant to attend events alone and noting the city can amplify signups.
Christy Gonzales described efforts to cultivate youth engagement and a junior program tied to school partnerships; the mayor and guests also praised the city's tire roundup partnership with the Rio Grande Valley Development Council, noting "thousands" of tires collected and the environmental benefit of preventing illegal dumping.
