Winona is asking for helping hands around one of its best-known lakes. The city is holding a Midday Pick-Me-Up volunteer litter cleanup around Lake Winona on Friday, November 20.

The event is being shared as a save-the-date for now, with more information expected closer to the day. Anyone interested is welcome to take part.

Volunteers do not have to stay for the entire cleanup. Organizers say people can join for the whole event or just a portion of it, and any help is appreciated.

Friends of the Refuge Headwaters passed along the announcement, noting that the cleanup fits with the group's own Project COMPASS work on Lake Winona.

The cleanup is a chance for residents to help keep the Lake Winona shoreline tidy heading into winter.
