We are powered by the people who have the desire to implement improvement and revitalization throughout Wheeling. Organized through Wheeling Heritage and the City of Wheeling, we also collaborate with other local organizations and non-profits, working towards the goal of making Wheeling a better, more beautiful place to live.
Projects range from litter pick-up and creating the Market Plaza Pocket Park, to supporting and spear-heading local events like FidoFest and Show of Hands.
Regardless of your level of experience in volunteering, if you want to make a positive impact in Wheeling, this is the place for you.
Our Committees
Beautify Wheeling

Beautify Wheeling is dedicated to keeping our city clean and inviting. This initiative organizes four scheduled community clean-up days per year while also collaborating with community organizations to support their efforts. Volunteers can also join The Litter Legends, a casual text group for impromptu cleanups. Whether you’re picking up litter for a couple of hours or leading a community effort, your help makes a visible impact on Wheeling’s beauty and sustainability.
The Artisan Center Green Team

The Artisan Center Green Team is committed to enhancing and maintaining the green spaces around the Artisan Center building.

The team also works with local partners to secure donations for landscaping materials and explore the best planting options for long-term sustainability.
Community Involvement
