CCRI Adopts 2 Miles of Highway 10

Armed with orange safety vests, gloves and garbage picking sticks, thirty-three CCRI volunteers set out to clean up a two-mile stretch of Highway 10. Our area is located 9 miles east of Glyndon. We thought adopting a highway would be a great opportunity for our team members to give back to the community. Wow, were we ever pleased with the turnout for our first time! We never imagined so many would volunteer. We had a mixture of clients, staff and staff’s kids. It was an adventure. You just never knew what you were going to find! The most unusual garbage included three thongs and three bras! Even though it was hard work, we enjoyed each other’s company and being outside. We will clean the other side in June. If you would like to volunteer, contact Laura Naylor. The date and time will be set soon. Thanks for taking an interest in our community and the environment.
