Show Up for the Schuykill: A Community River Clean-Up

Save the Schuykill

Join The Philadelphia Brickyard as we partner with Save the Schuylkill for a community river clean-up. The Schuylkill River is a shared resource, a gathering place, and a vital part of our region’s story — and right now, it needs people willing to show up and help care for it.

For the past three years, Save the Schuylkill has worked to protect and revitalize the river through advocacy, education, and direct action. Together, we’ll spend the morning pulling trash from the river in the Phoenixville area and doing our part to support a cleaner, healthier waterway for the communities that depend on it.

This is a hands-on volunteer event, so participants should wear comfortable clothes and shoes that can get wet and/or dirty.

Afterward, everyone is invited to head over to The Boardroom to relax, connect, and grab a bite together. The Brickyard will cover a drink and a sandwich or salad for volunteers from a selected menu. Come out, lend a hand, and spend a meaningful day serving alongside others in the community.

About the Philadelphia Chapter

Across cities and towns just like yours nationwide, we serve our communities by starting with bringing different neighbors together for events centered around Service, Civics, and Social Gatherings.

By rolling up our sleeves side-by-side, we can begin to see that we have more in common than what divides us; that first and foremost we are fellow Americans with a common love for our families and communities.

These Chapters – also known as our Brickyards – are mobile places for neighbors to connect and solve local problems. We do this through respectful and open conversations, and to find higher ground as we work together brick-by-brick.
