Volunteers will be provided with video training and all the pick-up equipment to ensure safety. In addition, volunteers will receive WCDP volunteer shirts and bumper stickers as a thank you for helping the community. Water will also be provided.
For those needing service hours, this is a great opportunity!
As Democrats, we care about people and we care about our communities, which means we must commit to serving our county. Picking up litter not only beautifies Wilson County, it also ensures that wildlife is protected from ingesting harmful materials, and sets a positive example for those who litter.

Mae Beavers will be announcing the launch of her 2018 gubernatorial campaign on Saturday, June 3rd at 1pm at Charlie Daniels Park in Mt. Juliet.
In addition to the divisive and harmful legislation Beavers has sponsored and supported, she has refused to engage in dialogue with her constituents who hold conflicting views. Many of her constituents were blocked on social media simply for expressing their views regarding various policies. Both Tennessee and Wilson County deserve a governor who is willing to do what is best for ALL Tennesseans, not just the select few who hold her narrow beliefs.
Please join us in protest at Mae's public campaign event. We encourage you to bring signs that state why Mae Beavers blocked you, or simply#blockedbymae
