The flyer has a lined notecard pinned to a corkboard with a red pushpin. The event title, 'Kick Butt Columbus!' is in bold black text with a cartoon character holding a cigarette while sitting on a vintage car. A yellow sticky note in the top left corner says 'SAVE THE DATE' in red stamp-style text. Another yellow sticky note in the bottom right corner features the 'Keep Columbus Beautiful' logo, which includes a city skyline silhouette and text stating it is a 'Keep America Beautiful' affiliate.
  • Clothing Swap Volunteers - Abortion Fund of Ohio
    They say it takes a village, and they're right! Our clothing swap would not be possible without the help of our community! Please sign up for a shift to volunteer and rock and roll with us for the weekend. Volunteering with us for clothing swap not only allows you to hang out with likeminded folks from your community, but of course gets you some AFO goodies like a new custom tote bag 👀

  • Westerville Repair Cafe
    9:00am-12:00pm at The Point at Otterbein University

  • Community Litter Pickup

    Flyer for the 4th Annual Cleaner Columbus Citywide Cleanup on April 5, 2025. The event kicks off at 9 A.M. at Goodale Park Shelterhouse, with the cleanup scheduled from 10:30 A.M. to 1 P.M.
