KentHOPE and Kent Downtown Partnership are gathering for a litter cleanup day from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Volunteers are asked to meet at Kent-Kherson Peace Park, Second and Gowe streets.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Wear work gloves and bring a broom, rake, shovel and trash picker if you have them. Bring the family, invite your friends. Plan to stay for lunch at one of Kent’s downtown restaurants or coffee shops.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
KentHOPE, Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission and others are collaborating with Kent business leaders to address homeless issues and solutions, which include downtown litter, re-opening public restrooms, panhandling and sleeping on business property.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
