Here's What Some of Our Local KMB Chapter Leaders & Volunteers Say About Their Experiences
- Our local chapter has been a consistent source of inspiration for me over the past 4+ years. As I drive around town and see how great our roadsides look it fills me with joy and reminds me that there are many many people that love Framingham as much as I do! This is huge during the challenging and sometimes divisive times that we live in... it's great to know there are many like-minded folks on the same team!
- Volunteering with our local KMB chapter has kept my spirits tidy over the last few years. It’s so nice to have a cleaner city and neighborhood. The positive feedback from the members and the joy everyone seems to feel about this effort make it fun and special. Thanks to all of you!
- It's great to see people showing pride in our city and taking action rather than just listing problems!
- I love this group and I believe every town or city should have the same type of Community within the Community!
- Our chapter members remove thousands of tons of trash that would otherwise harm wildlife and pollute the ground, soil, and waterways with harmful chemicals. Plus, our city looks nicer!
- Awareness. I can't go any where without noticing litter, and I'm thankful that KMB has promoted this awareness and that I occasionally can do something about it. Thanks to you all!
- My local KMB chapter provides purpose and inclusion. I don’t just take a walk every day, I contribute to the betterment of our community. That means a lot to me AND it’s prompted conversations with folks that otherwise wouldn’t happen.
- I've met some very nice people that I never would have met with similar goals. Our city would not be as clean today without Keep Framingham Beautiful!
