(SBA) - The 25on25 program in Sergeant Bluff kicked off its first community trash pickup of the year with a successful event, thanks to the dedication of local volunteers. The initiative, aimed at promoting community cleanliness and environmental stewardship, saw a small but mighty group of four volunteers come together to clean up the ditches along S. Lewis Blvd, south of 1st Street, and a portion of the drainage ditch in the Recreation Complex.
Despite the modest turnout, the volunteers made a significant impact, leaving the area noticeably cleaner than before. To show appreciation for their efforts, Aggies provided a delightful lunch for all participants, adding a touch of camaraderie to the day's activities.
The 25on25 program encourages residents to contribute to community cleanliness by picking up litter on the 25th of each month. The program emphasizes that even small actions, such as picking up a single piece of litter, can collectively make a major difference.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who participated in the first trash pickup of 2025. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and serve as a reminder of the positive impact we can all have on our community.
To participate in the next 25on25 event in April, residents and community members can contact Dan Hospers at 712-203-0208 or dan@cityofsergeantbluff.com to find out the time and meeting place and to help Aggies prepare for the number of boxed lunches needed for volunteers.
