This Is What Community Looks Like 💪 | Team Up 2 Clean Up 2025!

Season 2, Episode 111

🌟 In this episode of Along the Rock, host Kaitlyn Blum sits down with Anna Garcia and Janna Groharing to talk about Team Up 2 Clean Up, Sterling’s monthly downtown cleanup initiative.

What started as a once-a-year Earth Day event has grown into a hands-on, family-friendly volunteer program that brings students, families, and neighbors together to beautify downtown. From earning service hours to making new friends—and yes, even finding car bumpers along the way—this episode shows what community spirit really looks like.

📅 Upcoming cleanup events:

Saturday, September 27, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Saturday, October 18, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

📍 Location: Dale Park, Sterling, IL
