Keep Victoria Beautiful Fall Sweep
Target Parking Lot
September 11 - November 22
Every fall, Texans come together to care for the places they call home.
Overview
During Fall Sweep, communities across the state organize cleanups, beautification projects, recycling events, tree plantings, and other local efforts that make neighborhoods cleaner, healthier, and more welcoming. Whether you’re picking up litter at a neighborhood park, planting flowers at a community entrance, or organizing volunteers for a cleanup, every project contributes to a stronger, more beautiful Texas.
Act locally. Make a statewide impact.
Join a project in your community—or organize one of your own—and help demonstrate what Texans can accomplish together.
