Cleaner Streets

NOPNA finds fund for Larkin Street homeless teens to clean up NoPa


I saw the kids out yesterday, picking up trash. They spread out throughout the neighborhood (usually wearing a black t-shirt that says Larkin on it) with trash grabbers and graffiti cleaner.

Currently they're doing the North-South streets, as that's usually where the trash blows, and piles up.

They do a pretty good job too. I swear I could tell the difference this morning, and it took me a minute to remember why the sidewalks didn't have as much trash on them.

If you see these kids out there, make sure to say hello, and if you can, offer a glass of water, a cookie, and definitely a smile. Make friends with these kids, they've got potential.
