Citizens for a Better Arcadia invites residents to come together not only to celebrate freedom and progress but also to give back to the community. Join them for a Community Litter Pickup on Friday, June 19, starting at 8:30am, meeting at the Old Crawford School Parking Lot.

Juneteenth should remind everyone that freedom comes with responsibility. One meaningful way to honor the sacrifices and achievements of those who came before is by serving others and taking pride in the community. By helping clean the streets, parks, and public spaces, citizens leave a lasting legacy for future generations.

This community effort is proudly supported by Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. – Beta Eta Sigma Chapter, Citizens for a Better Arcadia, Town of Arcadia, Beehive Lodge #105 PH, and Arcadia-Bienville NAACP Branch #61AD-B Youth Council, and Keep Louisiana Beautiful (KLB).

Citizens for a Better Arcadia also invite all churches, businesses, civic groups, schools, organizations, families, and individuals to join this effort. The more hands, the greater impact that can be made.

Together, let’s celebrate Juneteenth by demonstrating unity, service, and pride in Arcadia. Bring gloves, community spirit, and a friend.
