LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Thousands of volunteers joined together to help the city even more beautiful.
Mayor Greg Fischer shared pictures via Twitter of the biannual Brightside and Passport Health Plan Community-wide Cleanup.
Volunteers helped pick up litter and plant flowers at several different sites around the city.
