Stop by SwellColors for garbage bags and gloves to help you dispose of the trash. SwellColors will also have refreshments and friendly smiles for all the volunteers. Taking the "Clean Up" one step further, we will be giving each volunteer who stops by our gallery wearing the GUCU bracelet a couple sunflower seedlings as a thank you.
If you are in the area, we encourage you to come out and help keep LBI beautiful. Volunteers will receive beaded GUCU bracelets that are good for promotions island-wide and a chance to win 1 of 100 free lunches at Dark Star Cafe.
