Lower Nob Hill Weekly Cleanup

Sundays, 9:45 AM to 11:00 AM

Meet outside Another Cafe at 1191 Pine St

Grab a picker, meet the people on your block, and leave the sidewalks cleaner than you found them. We provide all the supplies: grabbers, bags, gloves, and vests. Just wear comfortable shoes and show up.

What volunteers get:

  • A free sandwich, salad, or drink and pastry from Another Cafe, ready when the cleanup ends
  • A chance at free tickets to that evening’s 7:45 PM stand-up comedy show at Cheaper Than Therapy (533 Sutter St), a neighborhood comedy club around the corner from Union Square. Seats are limited each week and go to volunteers who claim them at check-in.

Everyone is welcome, including first-timers, families, and drop-ins. Check in with a QR code when you arrive. (Comedy tickets are for volunteers 18+.)

Organized by neighborhood volunteers in partnership with Civic Joy Fund and SF Public Works.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
