Great Indy Cleanup Kick-Off  has been combined with our spring tree planting on Saturday April 23rd. The city and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful have combined efforts to make this the biggest event yet.

Mayor Ballard’s team has committed all city resources (dumpsters, packers, heavy trash trucks) for this event. We will need over 50 volunteers to make this a success. The city and KIB want this to be a show of force of volunteerism that is why the events have been combined. We will be cleaning alleys south of 46th to 38th St.

There will be 40 trees planted in the general area on the same morning.   The 40 locations were part of application with KIB’s NeighborWoods program last fall. We have planted over 200 trees in the last 3 years in MKNA. Please take some time and visit the 40th St. and Ruckle/ Park Ave. are to see the benefits of our work. The synergy from the annual plantings has really engaged this area of MKNA. The neighbors in this area have had their own cleanups, block yard sales, and monthly brunches to encourage camaraderie.

We will be meeting at the Kaleidoscope Youth Center at 42nd and Broadway by the College Ave. Library at 9am. Coffee, bagels, water and pizza will be provided. Trash bags and gloves will also be provided.

Let’s show the city and KIB how engaged our neighborhood is by having a great turnout. A great turnout will show that MKNA is still the leader in neighborhood associations in Indianapolis.  

Free Sapling Tree for Volunteering

MKNA will be giving out a free Red Oak sapling tree to anyone who helps with the event. This will be a 1-3ft. tree that will need to replant within the next day. We will provide instructions and advise on the planting. Also if you pay your neighborhood membership annual dues in March or April you are eligible for a sapling tree.

Mark your calendar for Saturday April 23rd at 9am at Kaleidoscope Youth Center
