Join Us For Our First Thursday Joint Downtown Cleanup!

Help us keep our downtown looking its best! Join us for this month’s Downtown Cleanup:

Date: Thursday Sept. 4th (and every Thursday!)
Time: 8:30am
Meeting Spot: McMinnville Area Chamber of Commerce Building (319 NE 5th St.)

We’ll provide garbage bags, gloves, and supplies—you just bring your energy, a friend, and maybe a coffee!

These cleanups are a simple but powerful way to care for our community and keep McMinnville’s historic downtown welcoming for everyone.

No registration required. Just show up, lend a hand, and leave downtown brighter than you found it!
