It's Time for Tupelo

A day that residents come together to give their time to beautify our community in the form of litter cleanups and beautification projects.

Make a Difference

We are hosting the event called "Time for Tupelo" (formerly 10 for Tupelo) once again this year on Saturday, March 23. We are excited that we have revamped the day a bit to celebrate the Tupelo Spirit as volunteers clean and beautify our community. Volunteers will meet in Fairpark for a pep rally and then head to their projects from 9:00-11:00.

Keep Tupelo Beautiful encourages that every business, lessee, lessor, and landowner assemble an employee clean-up team to clean their parking lots, streetscapes, dumpster surroundings, and along nearby ditches.

Beautification

Spruce up the garden including cleaning out flower beds, picking up leaves, and putting out fresh pine straw of this wonderful organization that impacts the lives of so many.

Graffiti Removal

Students and their families along with faculty at Tupelo's favorite preschool will prep garden beds for Spring planting as well as do general campus cleaning.

Service Projects

Come solo, with your significant other, and/or grab some friends to tackle a project together. It is a day you do not want to miss. All ages of volunteers are needed!

10 for Tupelo once again brought together people, businesses and groups of various backgrounds and demographics, such as partnering Wear It Well with Renasant Bank, seeing a large group of Itawamba Community College students volunteer, neighbors joining together to clean the Joyner neighborhood, or First United Methodist Church’s youth and parents volunteering to plant a butterfly garden and lay down pine straw for the Oren Dunn City Museum.

“You can give money. You can do this or that. But the biggest investment is your time,” Bandre said. It’s the most precious thing anyone has. Giving it, even if it's just a few hours on a sunny Saturday morning to pick up some discarded junk food wrappers, is truly an act of love.
