Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil (D-Jackson) is pleased to announce her selection of "1 Pile at a Time" as the 2024 Nonprofit of the Year Honoree for Tuolumne County. This recognition highlights the diligent efforts of the organization in tackling the pressing issue of illegal dumping across the county.
Founded in January 2021 by Jason and Trisha Revord, "1 Pile at a Time" began with a simple but powerful mission: to combat the ongoing problem of illegal dumping that was plaguing Tuolumne County. The inspiration came from a Facebook video that highlighted the disturbing reality of these dumpsites. Realizing the scale of the issue and their inability to address it alone, the Revords established the nonprofit to inspire community volunteers and address the problem collectively.
"1 Pile at a Time" organizes targeted clean-up projects at specific locations. Each project is planned and mapped out, allowing volunteers to participate in a coordinated effort to restore the natural beauty of the area.
Senator Alvarado-Gil commended the organization for its grassroots approach and the tangible impact it has made on the community, saying, "The dedication and hard work of '1 Pile at a Time' showcases what environmental stewardship and community service is all about. Their efforts have not only made Tuolumne County cleaner but have also inspired others to take action."
