NEXT NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN UP
By participating in a clean up, you’re helping to keep this part of the neighborhood vibrant and welcoming.
We love student involvement and gladly encourage it too! Volunteering with HERO is a great way for students to earn community service credits for college applications or to build a strong resume. Join us to make a positive impact while gaining valuable experience.
DECEMBER 2025:
We’re taking a short break from clean-ups this December to pour our energy into two special projects that celebrate El Rio’s beauty and spirit — the El Rio Community Art & Mental Wellness Project and the El Rio Memory Garden.
