I’ve been busy with helping clients and have neglected my blog as of recently. The Run to Feed the Hungry event can’t be neglected though!
Below is everything you need to know about the event (or at least links to everything).
The new item of note for this year is that Waste collection for homes in the River Park Neighborhood and part of the East Sac Neighborhood will occur on Friday, November 28th 2019 instead of Thursday, November 27, 2019.
This year, the Solid Waste Team will be collecting garbage, recycle and containerized yard waste on Friday in neighborhoods where access is usually blocked during the race closures. Collection will remain on the Thursday schedule for areas outside of designated area. If you are in the special collection area, have your containers out by 6 a.m. Friday November 28,2019 for collection.
