Davenport Riverfront Refresh Event This Saturday

The weather is getting warmer, people are going outside more, and the flowers are starting to blossom. While spring and summer time can be beautiful, the city of Davenport wants to make sure the city looks beautiful for residents and visitors. The city needs your help to cleanup the Davenport riverfront this Saturday during their Riverfront Refresh event.

If you are looking to help make a difference and volunteer your time to a great cause, the city of Davenport is looking for volunteers to help cleanup the Davenport riverfront.

According to the event posted on the city of Davenport's Facebook page, officials are asking those willing to volunteer to join the Davenport City Council and Riverfront Improvement Commission for their Riverfront Refresh event.
