Washoe County looking for people to paint over graffiti

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is asking for volunteers to help turn the tide on graffiti vandalism by taking part in a graffiti cleanup event at the Sun Valley Community Center from 10am-2pm Oct. 6, weather permitting.

The department is also looking for concerned citizens to donate paint, brushes and gloves to the effort.

Graffiti vandalism is now one of the public’s foremost quality of life concerns. Scrawls of graffiti are popping up everywhere throughout Northern Nevada: parks, highway overpasses, street signs, even the most pristine of landmarks.
