Bridging The Rose City

What an incredible turnout we had for the We Believe in Portland cleanup Spring Cleanup in April!

With your support, nearly 1,800 dedicated individuals and over 170 businesses united in making our city shine by cleaning over 400 blocks and picking up over 800 pounds of trash—our largest and most impactful event yet. A heartfelt thank you from the entire We Believe in Portland planning team for your time, energy, and passion.

Based on your feedback, our cleanup efforts will expand and shift across the iconic Willamette River to Portland’s Inner Eastside — for the first time ever. You told us you want to do more and go where the need is greatest. Expanding east allows us to reach areas that often receive less routine maintenance, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to widen our collective impact.

Join us for our next cleanup on September 19, 2025!
