Are you Tough Enough? It’s the 50 Ward Challenge!

Are you tough enough to join the toughest volunteer group in Chicago?

Have you ever been told "don't go there, because that neighborhood is too dangerous"?

We GO THERE

We are the FIRST and ONLY trash pickup group to go to all 50 wards of Chicago, all year long, whether it's freezing cold, raining, or scorching hot.

We dream of a Chicago that is united, not segregated. And we are taking action.

We are uniting Chicago by picking up trash in all 50 wards. We'd love for you to join us.

Here's what you can expect when you join a Litter Caterpillars event:

• A conversation with new friends, filled with kindness and warmth
• Every rule and tradition has been crafted and chosen to maximize friendship and fun
• To quickly see your own impact on the neighborhood and city around you

AGENDA:
9 am: The volunteers gather around the Litter Caterpillars flag
9:00 - 9:10 : Each person introduces themselves, leads us in a stretch, and states what they are manifesting for the week
9:10 - 10:55 : Partner up and pick up trash!

Rules:

• Half of the people are on bag duty, half are on grabber duty. No one is allowed to be independent.
• Every time you finish filling up a bag, change your role, and change your partner

10:55 - 11 am: Reflection and the Goodbye
Ceremony - We all look backwards and notice how dirty things were, and how clean things are now!
We take a deep breath and feel calm and happy.

Finally, for the goodbye ceremony, we all put our left hands in the middle and chant "You'll never feel bitter, when you're picking litter!!"

I hope to see you next Sunday!
