Virginia Avenue Cleanup
Join your neighbors before the Virginia Avenue Spring Fling for a cleanup along the Virginia corridor! We’ll provide the supplies, plus a 30-yard dumpster courtesy of Dumpsters.com.
Looking to help keep Dutchtown beautiful? We’ve often got volunteer opportunities on the Dutchtown Calendar! If alley cleanups, community gardening, and the like are your type of thing, bookmark this page to keep track of upcoming neighborhood cleanups in Dutchtown.
“KIC” off a new era of soccer and community involvement at Marquette Park! Join your neighbors at the park and throughout the Dutchtown neighborhood for a cleanup in the morning. Then stay tuned for friendly soccer matches on the field and futsal court in the afternoon.
Join us at the park at 9am to grab tools, food and drinks, and t-shirts (while supplies last). We’ll head out into the park and across the neighborhood to tackle trash, weeds, and other unsightly scenes around Marquette.
You can also help out from home—clean up your front and back yards, pick up litter in your alley, cut back weeds and bushes, or find other ways to spruce up your house and your block.
Stick around to cheer on the soccer players starting at noon. Players from Dutchtown and across the region will be showing off their skills on the main field along Louisiana and on the new futsal court at Virginia and Gasconade.
Neighbors ages 16 to 24 can earn $10 an hour for up to eight hours by coming out and helping with the cleanup efforts. Email kicstlouis@gmail.com or call (314) 265-6186 to register. Pre-registration is required.

Additional community partners include Cure Violence Dutchtown, Dutchtown South Community Corporation, Garcia Properties, Gurung Bazaar, La Liga Latino Americana, Lou Fusz Ford, Lutheran Development Group, St. Joseph Housing Initiative, St. Louligans, Umoja St. Louis Soccer, and Vitendo 4 Africa.
