On Sunday while most people enjoyed a day to relax with their family or catch up with friends, the members of the non-profit Volunteers Cleaning Communities (VCC) based in Chatsworth were cleaning the trash and litter on streets in Northridge. Jill Mather, the president of VCC, launched the non-profit in 2020 during the pandemic when she and a small group gathered to a clean up litter in their community.
Today Mather oversees a huge San Fernando Valley organization with hundreds of volunteers, who have removed more than 650,000 pounds of trash from local streets, highways and waterways.
Mather said on Sunday, “We picked up 41 huge 55 gallon bags of trash in the area — which comes to approximately 410 lbs. of trash. We picked up lots of debris on the streets, clothing, trash, spoiled food, car parts from accidents, take-out food wrappers, lots of recyclables and cigarette butts galore.”
