April 22 is Keep Shaw Beautiful Day.

Here are the details from the Shaw Main Streets site:

Rain held down the turnout at the second annual Keep Shaw Beautiful Day, a neighborhood-wide clean up and green up event, but diehard volunteers from civic and business organizations participated in an effort to spruce up the neighborhood. Plants, mulch, tools, trash bags, and much more were provided to participants, including members of the Mount Vernon Square Neighborhood Association, French Street Neighbors Association, Mount Vernon Square Business Alliance, Americorps NCCC, and others.

Zucchini squash and kale greens were distributed, courtesy of the MidAtlantic Gleaning Network. Thanks to the United Planning Organization Shaw Community Service Center for their assistance in distributing this produce.
