Trinidad Volunteers Pull Together Again!

Picture
On a partly cloudy May 4th morning in 2019, armed with a breakfast burrito, new gloves, new t-shirt and the anticipation of a free lunch, folks from all over the county gathered once again to take ownership of the annual Comcast Cares Days Purgatoire river clean up. Nearly a hundred people representing a dozen local non-profits donated their time to remove debris from our treasured river front. We are thankful for the joint sponsorship of this year's event by INBank.  A hearty lunch of pulled pork sandwiches and brats was served by Mario's Burritos. We send a big "Thank You" to both the City of Trinidad for donating two cheerful drivers to collect trash bags and Twin Enviro for their delivery of a dumpster! Comcast donates to TCF for this event based on the amount of volunteers. TCF in turn, shares that grant with each of the non-profits represented on clean up day. Thank you Comcast!

Despite cold wet weather, approximately 170 residents participated in the April 22, 2017 Community Clean Up.

Comcast Cares Day has become one of the largest single days of corporate and community volunteering in the country. Trinidad Community Foundation (TCF) became a local community partner organization with Comcast in 2009. TCF plays a major role in organizing the local community clean-up event and recruiting local volunteers. In return, The Comcast Foundation provides a grant to TCF for its role in organizing the event. Each year, Trinidad Community Foundation shares the grant they receive from Comcast with local non-profit organizations.
