Roll Up Your Sleeves: Palm Springs Community Clean Up Returns January 9

Grab your gloves and bring your neighbors—Palm Springs is getting a fresh start for the new year! The city's Sustainability Department is hosting its annual Community Clean Up, and this time, there's a sweet twist. All community members are invited to pitch in and help make Palm Springs shine.

Mayor Naomi Soto will kick things off with welcoming remarks, but the big news? Ben & Jerry's is joining the effort in a major way. More than 200 volunteers from their Franchisee Annual Meeting will roll up their sleeves alongside residents—and yes, free ice cream from Ben & Jerry's Palm Springs awaits everyone who participates.

• Where: James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Center, 480 W. Tramview Road, Palm Springs, CA 92262
