On February 23, WeLoveU members in the United States carried out
the Clean WORLD Movement in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Tampa, Florida.

In Philadelphia, the cleanup was carried out in the northeastern region,
where a small aircraft had crashed just weeks earlier, on January 31.
In Tampa, the event marked the one-year anniversary
of WeLoveU’s adoption of Channelside Drive.

✨Roosevelt Boulevard & Bustleton Avenue Intersection ✨

Roughly 300 WeLoveU members from nearby areas gathered to uplift
community spirits following the recent plane crash. Volunteers conducted
a large-scale cleanup around the crash site near Roosevelt Shopping Mall,
collecting approximately 4,000 pounds or two tons of garbage
from Roosevelt Boulevard and Bustleton Avenue.

Pennsylvania state representatives joined the initiative to show their support
for recovery efforts in Northeast Philadelphia and expressed their appreciation
to WeLoveU volunteers. Local businesses such as Raising Cane’s,
Pizza Roma, and The Home Depot contributed by donating food and supplies.

Jared Solomon, Pennsylvania State Representative

“I sincerely appreciate the heroic efforts of first responders, residents who helped each other, and volunteers. I also want to thank WeLoveU for spreading heartfelt love in Northeast Philadelphia since 2018. Your presence means everything to us. What message you’re sending is that folks aren’t forgotten.”

Jared Solomon, Pennsylvania State Representative

Anthony Bellmon, Pennsylvania State Representative

“I can’t thank the WeLoveU Foundation enough. It was also just heartbreaking because you knew that this was just not going to be solved in one day. The fact that you guys are here today, weeks after the tragedy struck, to show Northeast Philadelphia some love means the world to the community. Your impact is going to be long lasting, and I can’t wait to see what we do after the cleanup today because like I said, we need y’all to come back.”

Anthony Bellmon, Pennsylvania State Representative

Sean Dougherty, Pennsylvania State Representative

“This tragedy isn’t something that can be resolved overnight. Weeks have passed, yet your continued presence and compassion continue to uplift this community. Today, we witnessed the best of humanity—people from all backgrounds coming together to help. Thank you, WeLoveU.”

Tampa, Florida

✨Channelside Drive ✨

In Tampa, 20 members from WeLoveU gathered to mark the one-year
anniversary of adopting Channelside Drive. Over the past year, WeLoveU
has conducted regular cleanups once every one or two months. On this occasion,
they removed broken glass, nails, bottles, cigarette butts, and more,
transforming the area into a safer, cleaner public space.

“I can imagine how dirty this area gets, and it can get overwhelming for the city.
So, seeing that you have an organization here to assist with that is amazing
for the community. Being here for the first time and learning about your
organization was new to me. This made me more intrigued
to learn more and to see how I can even get involved,”

Likecia Luckey, Speech Pathologist

“I love the cleanup happening today. It makes everything even better.
The community loves it and I love it. Everybody should be involved.
If we want our community to be great,
everyone should give a little part to make the world great.”

Jose, Local Resident
