Fun, Fast & Easy Volunteering
Meet like-minded volunteers and join efforts to actively better our community. Pickups are scheduled for one hour only, together we can do a lot in 60 minutes! All supplies are provided, like grabber tools that make picking litter up kinda fun instead of being a chore. If the weather isn't cooperating, we won't hesitate to reschedule the pickup for another day.
Broken Windows Theory
If litter in an area is accepted and common, more litter is likely to accumulate! A neighborhood full of litter is more likely to harbor crime as well. Our efforts with area beautification will not only offset mindless littering, but also decrease the city's crime. Fight with us to keep El Paso beautiful and safe.
2025 stats

Volunteer of the Month
Vic
Hello, Fellow Pickers!
Sun City Pickers would like to recognize one of our volunteers and introduce Victoria Navarro! Most of you may have already met Vic, or seen her at one of our pickups. She usually brings a tripod for her camera, and takes really cool before and after videos of the progress from all of the litter.
Vic is the proud mother of 2 young children, ages 1 and 3, and the wife of a Marine Veteran who also served with EPPD. She's an El Paso native whose dedication to her family extends well into the community.
While researching for ways to volunteer, she joined Saint Luke's food pantry in 2020 as well as another food pantry in Vinton. She tells me that while pregnant with her son, and on the verged of giving birth, she was steadily at the pantry helping out!
Vic is an avid reader with an extensive library. She is a health wellness coach, and aims to be a pillar of health in her city. She started running in 2015 and has been participating in the El Paso Marathon runs since 2018, as well as other charitable races. Vic recently ran the run Internacional 10k, an annual event that maps the course of the run through both the US and Mexico.
Vic and her husband opened up their first Herbalife nutrition shop in 2013 as well as 2 other locations within her Herbalife career. She also hosts a women's empowerment group called Bella Diamonds with the goal of promoting fitness, nutrition, confidence, friendship, and camaraderie among the women-only group. The women's challenge is held twice a year and includes weekly educational classes for women, and finishes the program with a confidence photoshoot!
With all these events Vic juggles, along with being a loving spouse and mother of 2, she still makes time to volunteer with Sun City Pickers, "I love my city and I believe there is an abundance of opportunity here! I'm grateful for the ability to serve and groups like SCP who organize ways for us to contribute!"
We here at SCP are proud to serve alongside Vic, and we are inspired by the commitment she keeps to her family and to her community. Thank you Victoria! And thank you to all our volunteers who are dedicated to keeping the vibrancy of the Sun City shining on!

Community Water Station Program
- Free, Easily Accessible Water for the Community
- Reduces the amount of single use plastic bottles & styrofoam cups
We’re pumped to announce our community water station program! The program’s main purpose is to provide free, easily accessible water to those who need it, especially those most vulnerable to the summer desert heat. An added bonus is reducing the amount of single use plastic water bottles and styrofoam cups, two of the most common pieces of litter we see.
