Commissioner Connie Hudson, who champions the Love Your Community (LYC) program, said, “We’re proud to recognize the four teams receiving grants for their hard work and commitment to litter reduction.

This morning, several of Mobile’s Community Action Groups received funds for picking up litter.
$1,000 grants (95 service hours)
Share the Beach Litter Patrol – Dauphin Island (Commission District 3)
Led by Miranda Radcliff, this team picks up litter while patrolling for sea turtle nests. Grant funds will support biodegradable materials to better mark nests and enhance public education efforts.
Satsuma Lions Club (Commission District 1)
Led by Dany Gray, the team will focus on Satsuma High School, repairing a brick planter, planting flowers and satsuma trees, and treating sidewalks for weeds and fire ants to refresh the campus and surrounding area.
$1,500 grants (145 service hours)
RevitalizeDIP (Commission District 3)
Led by Yvette Young, the group is expanding outreach with new signage to raise awareness about litter pickup and beautification, especially for residents not active on social media. Previous projects include two pocket gardens along Dauphin Island Parkway.
Mobile Japanese Gardens (Commission District 2)
Led by Don Fry, this team is continuing work on a storage shed for gardening tools, now decorated with a hand-painted mural that adds beauty to the grounds during ongoing renovations.
RevitalizeDIP has a high regard for these fine organizations and the volunteers who participate in litter cleanup activities.
RevitalizeDIP encourages everyone in our community to take pride in our south Mobile peninsula as well as other areas of Mobile City and County.
