Things you can do in person
Community Litter Pick Up
Join hundreds of Keep Columbus Beautiful volunteers on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at 10AM, to stomp out litter along city ramps. We will meet at Wolfe Park Shelter House, 105 Park Dr, Columbus, OH 43209. We are stomping out litter by cleaning up near Columbus’ highway ramps.
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 👀

9:00am-12:00pm at The Point at Otterbein University
