Join the Great American Cleanup of PA
Cleaning up your neighborhood is one
of the best investments you can make.
Whether you have vacant lots plagued
with debris, natural areas that are dumped
on, or litter blown from down the street,
any neighborhood can be lifted up by
positive action.
The 15th annual Keep Pennsylvania
Beautiful Great American Cleanup
of PA can help get you started. From
March 1 through May 31, thousands
of Pennsylvania families and friends
will partake in litter and illegal dump
cleanups, beautification projects such
as tree and flower plantings, recycling
collections and education programs.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful partners
with PennDOT, the Department of
Environmental Protection, and Keep
America Beautiful to provide free trash
bags, gloves, and safety vests to registered
participants, as supplies last. During Let’s
Pick It Up PA—every day from April 13
through May 6—cleanups registered
with the Great American Cleanup of
PA are eligible to take their trash to
participating landfills free of charge or for
a reduced rate.
Registration can be done online at
gacofpa.org. Michelle Dunn, Great
American Cleanup of PA Program
Coordinator, can answer questions
at 1.877.772.3673, ext. 113, or email

MUS KINDNESS CARD
PROJECT RAISES
THOUSANDS FOR
412 FOOD RESCUE
This past November, Meyer, Unkovic
& Scott launched The Kindness Card
Project—an initiative developed by the
firm’s Wellness and Diversity committees
to encourage the spread of kindness and
appreciation during the season of giving.
The firm’s initial goal was to sell 800
cards and raise $1,600. But, in only one
month, more than 1,400 cards were sold,
and a total of $3,725 was raised for 412
Food Rescue.
Led by attorney Beth Slagle, 40 staff
members volunteered to create unique,
hand-painted Kindness greeting cards
that were available for purchase by
attorneys, staff, family, and friends.
All donations collected for the cards
benefited 412 Food Rescue and its vitally
important food distribution and food
waste mitigation initiatives throughout
the Pittsburgh region.
“The compliments that we’ve received
about the cards, starting with clients,
family, and friends, have been nothing
short of amazing,” says Slagle. “They
have been inspired by what our 40 artists
have created.”

412 Food Rescue was founded as
a direct response to the disconnect
between food waste, hunger, and
environmental sustainability. 412 Food
Rescue’s portfolio of food recovery
initiatives ranges from building
technology and logistics infrastructure to
creating new markets for products that
redirect good food from feeding landfills
to feeding people. To learn more, visit
