Kudos: Clean Tahoe Program thanks Ricky Reich for generous donation

The Clean Tahoe Program would like to extend our sincere thanks to Ricky Reich for a $53,000 donation that allowed the program to purchase a new truck for our field crew. The donation came as a result of an emergency situation, as one of our much-used trucks was involved in an accident and deemed a total loss.

As a litter cleanup service, Clean Tahoe’s trucks are absolutely essential to our work. In our last year, the Clean Tahoe field crew picked up almost five cubic football fields of litter and illegally dumped items, all transported to the STR Transfer Station in our two trucks. Without the use of one, it is impossible for us to keep South Tahoe clean and litter-free.

When Ricky, who is Ms. Lisa Maloff’s loyal friend and fierce protector, heard that Clean Tahoe was in need of a new vehicle he made the donation personally so we could quickly purchase what we needed in order to fulfill our mission.

As a small non-profit with a very limited budget, Mr. Reich’s donation felt like a true miracle. Thank you Ricky you for caring about the integrity of our environment and keeping Tahoe clean! Your donation means the world to us!
