Love the Boot Week is April 20-28

Love the Boot Week is April 20-28! Your chamber and its members can be a part of this state-wide cleanup effort, engaging businesses, nonprofits, government groups, and individuals and families in all 64 parishes. Louisiana's businesses have a vital role to play in preventing litter. Love the Boot Week offers a fun, hands-on opportunity to engage your team and show your commitment to keeping your community clean. Visit lovetheboot.org to organize your own cleanup or beautification event, or sign up to volunteer for one in your area.
