Who is Keep McAlester Beautiful?

We are citizens, volunteers, business supporters, and partner organizations who contribute time, money, labor, and supplies to ensure that McAlester continues to fulfill its potential as a great place to live and work. We don’t have time to point fingers, we are busy rolling up our sleeves and getting to work.

Keep McAlester Beautiful (formerly Pride In McAlester) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with the goal of making McAlester, Oklahoma a cleaner, safer, and more beautiful place to live and work.

We have a volunteer opportunity every month, often on the second Saturday of every month. We paint structures and flagpoles, and fire hydrants, we plant flowers and trees, we pick up litter (we pick up a lot of litter!), and we are behind the big spring and wide cleanups that happen at the former National Guard Armory in April and October.

Keep McAlester Beautiful (KMB) has a monthly lunch meeting on the third Thursday at 12 noon. We currently meet in the side room at The Yardbird, 315 E. Choctaw Ave. Everyone is welcome. We talk about upcoming events and projects. Maybe you have a project you’d like to see completed!

Our board of directors meet the second Thursday of every month at 12 noon at the Fire Department Administration and Training located at 1016 E. South Ave. It too is open to the public.
