Beaufort Litter Patrol

Hi, my name is Ashton and I am fundraising for a monthly volunteer group that I organize. Beaufort Litter Patrol is located in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, unique to its beautiful landscapes, special wildlife, and rich history. Once a month we meet to facilitate a group effort in keeping our communities clean. This volunteer effort is

I first had the idea to organize this group when I moved to Beaufort in 2019. I looked for similar opportunities to meet new people and give back to my beautiful new home. I was unable to find what I was looking for and the more I walked my dog around, the more I became frustrated with the amount of litter tossed around. I decided at the start of 2020 that I would begin to organize something myself. So, I started a Facebook group, named it Beaufort Litter Patrol, and got to work putting the intention out there for monthly clean-ups. My idea quickly came to a pause for about a year while we navigated 2020.

Eventually, I realized the importance of continuing this effort stretched further than doing our part for the local environment and it was equally important to help re-establish a safe sense of community after so much fear existed with being around others. Social connection through service brings its own special form of healing.

It has been incredible to watch the growth in volunteers and interest for more! With growth comes many great things and it also comes with more time and money spent. I happily organize and facilitate these community clean-ups, while also purchasing the necessary cleaning supplies and the tasty treats that we share to celebrate our time. I am beyond grateful to be able to offer anything that I can and I also know that I cannot sustain offering everything to its fullest potential, with the continued growth & desire for more. We have so much more that we want to build with Beaufort Litter Patrol and our community. I know that in order to do that the right way, it will take some extra financial help from donations like yours.

Below I have mapped out how these donations will be spent and how that will support the continuing efforts of our volunteer group, Beaufort Litter Patrol.

  • Marketing and Advertising
  • Supplies for clean-ups
  • Treats for post-cleanups
  • Efforts for organizing future events
  • Efforts for continued growth as an organization



These donations will also help support the efforts of organizing monthly clean-ups with the interest of adding additional dates/times that offer a variety of volunteer opportunities.

Thank you in advance for your help in keeping the Lowcountry clean!
