Japantown Merchants Association and Japantown Parking Garage will provide refreshments.

“Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi has committed his support along with Department of Public Works to this community event.”

The volunteers will meet at the Peace Plaza (Post and Buchanan), where they will pick up their tools and assignments. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own work gloves or they may use ones provided by DPW.
