Make a Difference in Your Community!

Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back? Passaic County welcomes local groups, churches, businesses, and organizations to host their own park or trail clean-up day or service project to help preserve and enhance our beautiful public spaces.

Whether you're a scout troop looking to complete a service badge, a corporate team building camaraderie, or a church group making a local impact, we’re here to help you coordinate a successful volunteer day.

How It Works
