You’re invited to come help “Clean Jordan Lake”!

The annual cleanup event is coming up on Saturday, October 11. It’s part of the NC Big Sweep, a series of cleanup events across the state to keep North Carolina litter-free.

Organizer Fran DiGiano joined WCHL’s Aaron Keck on the air Thursday to talk about the event and call for volunteers.

The Clean Jordan Lake event has been going on for five years – and in that time, more than 3,000 volunteers have picked up 9,000 bags of trash and 3,400 tires from the shoreline.

If you’re interested in taking part this year, head online to CleanJordanLake.org.
