My name is Joe, and I run OneLAClean. Growing up in a poor countryside, I experienced poverty and daily struggles firsthand. Those early years shaped who I am and planted a deep passion in me to give back wherever I can. Today, I call Los Angeles home, and I do my best to serve this city by picking up trash and caring for those experiencing homelessness. For me, cleaning the streets isn't just about appearance—it’s about dignity, safety, and showing love to people and places that are often overlooked.

I've been doing regular cleanups across LA, and so far, my efforts have collected 40+ bags of trash in a single cleanup—removing hazards and making our streets safer and more inviting. City services are busy and stretched thin, but the trash is still there, and our neighborhoods deserve care. To grow these cleanups, we need the right tools and supplies for volunteers—gloves, trash bags, brooms, safety gear, and more. This work comes from the heart. I may not be able to do everything, but I will always do what I can to serve my community with compassion and respect.

Any support—donations, shares, or encouragement—means a lot. This is about stepping up, taking responsibility, and showing love for our city. Together, we can clean LA one load at a time. Thank you for believing in this mission and for helping make our neighborhoods safer and more welcoming for everyone.
