Volunteers needed to
wipeout graffiti
- City gears up for 6th
Annual Graffiti Wipeout Days -
Calling all volunteers! The City is looking for a few good
volunteers to take part in the Housing and Neighborhood Services
Department’s Graffiti Wipeout Days.
Since the event continues to grow, the City has decided to declare three
days of graffiti eradication for their Sixth Annual Graffiti Wipeout.
Civic groups, churches, schools and businesses are invited to wipeout
graffiti in San Antonio on Saturday, September 12 or Saturday, September
19, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Groups
interested in participating must provide their preferred date, time and
location to the Graffiti Abatement Program by Friday,
September 4.
Individuals or families interested in helping out can volunteer through
their City Council districts. The final clean-up day will be Saturday,
September 26, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Last year, more than 3200 volunteers participated in the Graffiti
Wipeout, removing over 480,000sq. feet of graffiti.

Days, contact Lisa McKenzie at (210) 207-5430 or by email at
