Meet the People Behind the Program

“I see my role as keeping the district on the right side of the tipping point theory. If litter and garbage become too prevalent, we reach a point where it becomes so bad that it’s irreversible. The cleaner we keep it, and the more people see others making the effort, the more inclined they’ll be to not litter and to help keep the area clean as well.

I hope when people see me out picking up trash, they think, ‘Hey, I can do that too and help the community.’”

— Mike Kendig, Hollywood Booster

“As a longtime Northeast Portland resident and community volunteer, I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact the Hollywood Clean + Safe Program has had on the district. The program plays an important role in helping keep Hollywood clean, safe, and welcoming.”

— Heidi Settlemier, Hollywood Booster

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We’ve been running the Clean + Safe Program for more than seven years, and we hope to continue it for as long as the neighborhood needs it.

  • Your donation supports the Hollywood Boosters and helps fund every aspect of the Clean + Safe Program, including recruiting, hiring, and coordinating people to walk the district up to three times per week to pick up trash and debris, monitor neighborhood conditions, and report safety concerns. It also helps cover the cost of organizing community cleanup events, as well as supplies and equipment such as trash bags, safety vests, litter pickers, and other materials needed to keep the program running.

  • No. While the Hollywood Boosters is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization, we are not a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, so donations are generally not tax-deductible as charitable contributions.

    Our mission since 1934 is to support and improve the Hollywood District through neighborhood projects, events, advocacy, and programs like our Clean + Safe Program.
