Meeting and Events Calendar
The 5th Annual Basura Bash is hosted by Safe & Sound, Inc., with the support and partnership of Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful, the Department of Neighborhood Services, and Milwaukee County Parks. Basura Bash will be held on June 9th from 10 AM to 2 PM and is a community building and beautification project on the Southside of Milwaukee that involves working with block watch groups, residents, Safe & Sound Safe Places, local businesses, community and faith-based organizations, law enforcement and our local leaders to build pride through a series of neighborhood improvement activities including, garbage cleanup, tire and graffiti removal, alley and building identification numbering, vacant lot clean ups, recycling information, and a major “basura bash” in our streets and alleys on the Southside.
We are encouraging residents and businesses to host a cleanup from 10 AM to Noon in their neighborhood on the day of the event. Cleanup supplies will be provided as well as Basura Bash t-shirts for volunteers. Everyone involved in the Basura Bash will come together for a fiesta at Noon at Kosciuszko Park, 2201 S. 7th Street. Free food, entertainment, children’s activities, community resources and more will be available for all to enjoy.
Anyone interested in hosting a Basura Bash clean-up or registering to volunteer can call Maria Sandoval at 414-221-6709. You can also join us for a community information session:
