4-H Club Community Service Opportunity

Community improvement grants of $500 are available through the Keep Lincoln & Lancaster County Beautiful (KLLCB) Program. 4-H clubs or groups who conduct litter cleanup projects in public areas — along streets, curbs, alleys and sidewalks, at schools, parks and other open spaces — may apply for funding grants. Projects must incorporate a recycling plan and include before and after photos and must be completed by Oct. 31. KLLCB can provide trash and recycling bags, safety equipment and other helpful tools. Additional guidelines and application form are at http://www.lincoln.ne.gov/city/health/environ/waste/kllcb.htm. For more information, call 402-441-8035. Clubs may document their clean-up project in poster form and enter it as a club exhibit at the Super Fair under Citizenship, (class A120010).
