About

Clean Memphis & Project Green Fork are looking for volunteers for our annual Loving Local fundraiser! All volunteers receive free admission to the event, which includes hors d'oeuvres, wine, beer, and specialty cocktails.

 

Loving Local is an event that celebrates our local chefs, breweries, bartenders, and community. Attendees will learn more about the PGF initiatives as well as Clean Memphis programming while enjoying small bites from our featured chefs from Tsunami, Good Fortune Noodle Company, Biscuits and Jams, Inspire Community Cafe, and Central BBQ. There will be beverages provided by Memphis Made Brewing, sweet treats from MemPops, and so much more.

 

Volunteers are asked (but not required) to attend a volunteer orientation at The Ravine on Tuesday, June 6 at 6:00 PM. Our staff will be available for two hours, but the orientation itself should not take longer than an hour. Please let us know via this survey if you can attend. https://memphistransformed.typeform.com/to/l0DRtYEG Thank you!

 

All volunteers should be 21+.
