TeamUp Lancaster
The City of Lancaster's TeamUp Lancaster Program invites residents, businesses, organizations, and public agencies to work together in keeping Lancaster beautiful. Through this program, participants can adopt a section of roadway for regular cleanups, join one-day events, or engage in graffiti removal efforts. TeamUp Lancaster aims to foster a strong sense of community pride and unity, helping maintain a welcoming and safe environment for residents and visitors alike.

Together, we’re creating a place that all can enjoy and be proud of.
