KOIN 6 joins SOLVE for a Founder's Day of Caring clean up

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- KOIN 6 employees spent the morning and the afternoon cleaning up around downtown Portland as part of our parent company Nexstar's Founder's Day of Caring.

We teamed up with our community partners at SOLVE to give back to the community.

"I'm really good at picking up cigarette butts," KOIN 6 meteorologist Kelley Bayern said. "I find them everywhere, so that's what I'll be looking out for today."

Founder's Day of Caring started in 2016, which has taken place every year since then during the third week of June at each of Nexstar's 116 television markets.
