Graffiti Wipeout 2020
We are sorry to have to announce that we are postponing the Graffiti Wipeout 2020 event that San Francisco Public Works planned for this Saturday, August 29, due to poor air quality caused by the continuing wildfires. Our top priority is to keep our volunteers and employees safe and healthy. We will be rescheduling the volunteer workday and will be back in touch with you when we have a new date. Strong community partnerships are essential to the care of San Francisco. Thank you for your continuing understanding and support.
- Face coverings and gloves will be mandatory at all events. Please bring your own face covering; we’ll provide disposable gloves.
- Participants must adhere to social distancing guidelines: keep at least 6 feet apart unless you’re working with a member of your household.
- Groups working in a particular area will be kept to a maximum of 12 people.
- Anyone experiencing COVID symptoms is asked to stay home.
