Cleaner City, Cleaner World!
On Sunday, January 27, 2019, more than 50 volunteers from various backgrounds joined together to clean up North King Street in Hampton, Virginia. In this worldwide effort to raise awareness about environmental protection, volunteers targeted a one-mile stretch along North King Street.
The start of every year is full of vitality, new opportunities, and most commonly—resolutions. It’s the same case for the International WeLoveU Foundation East Coast Region. In 2019, WeLoveU is planning and mapping out fresh and new ways to positively impact the global family. In spite of new ideas, there’s nothing like WeLoveU’s roots of carrying out volunteer service.
The volunteers working joyfully cleaned the area thoroughly and collected more than 200 bags of trash. The debris collected at this year’s cleanup ranged from items like bottles and mattresses to old tires and file cabinets, just to name a few. The total estimated weight of the debris from the cleaning frenzy is more than 7,000 pounds.
One Step at a Time
This cleanup was in partnership with the Hampton Clean City Commission and the Hampton Police Department. A local news station also supported the team by broadcasting WeLoveU’s efforts. By working with local agencies, WeLoveU can have better insight into the needs of the community. As a result, volunteers can work towards the same goal and work in unity. All the participants hope to inspire neighbors and families locally and globally to make any and every effort to maintain a cleaner city and overall—a cleaner world.
A cleanup of this size may be seen as small compared to the vast amount of land there is to clean. However, to WeLoveU volunteer’s, they’re motivated to help even in the slightest way.
Through these efforts, they’re working towards environmental protection in five main areas: clean water, oxygen, region, life, and descendants. These components make up the Clean WORLD Movement that WeLoveU has been working on for many years. This movement also works towards fulfilling the SDGs, specifically Climate Action, Life Below Water, and Life on Land.

The Intl. WeLoveU Foundation is making so much effort and this is amazing work that needs to be shared with the world. All your hard work and beautiful hearts are appreciated. Please keep up the great work!
Wow! The before and after pictures are shocking, the volunteers did such a great job.
The beginning of the article touched me a lot as well because here, an organization made it their resolution to help others for the new year where I never even thought of one that didn’t involve myself. It’s inspiring seeing people joyfully want to do good deeds around the world even if it seems like a small one, in reality, it is huge because it touches the lives of others. Thank you so much WeLoveU!
You know, this movement has spread all over the world. It’s awesome.
I’d like to know this organization.
Wow! How beautiful! This is amazing, there was so much trash. It affects us so much actually. It does harm to our environment and eventually us. Keeping our community nice and clean makes our world a better place. Good job! Thank you for all your efforts!
Wow! What an amazing transformation! Where does your commitment come from? Most young people are playing video games, shopping or on social media. However, this organization displays something deeper, a mission to change the world. A city needs WeLoveU Foundation. They work towards the goals of making a better world for us to live in.

What an amazing job..
I am so moved through the We Love You Foundation. It is not easy cleaning a dirty place as such, but the members didn’t think of the condition but only the result of a clean environment!
I am originally from Hampton, VA and have seen this city grow in so many ways. I am truly move to see how much of an impact the WeLoveU Foundation is making to make the community clean and have so many of the youth involved.
As an active volunteer I am very thankful that WeLoveU is both global and local so that I in such a small city I can make a difference in this vast world of ours with efforts to unify all people by doing good deeds. I anticipate to what the next event will be in Virginia.
Wow, so amazing!
This is really moving! The area the volunteers cleaned looks totally transformed!
