Adopt-A-Highway Program

Adopt-A-Highway is a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) initiative that allows community organizations to take responsibility for maintaining the cleanliness of a designated stretch of state highway. ISGVF is officially registered with PennDOT and has been proudly maintaining our assigned road segment in the Devon area.

Our agreement with PennDOT requires ISGVF to conduct cleanup at least twice per year — once in the spring to coincide with the Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania, and once in the fall before winter. In 2026, we are going above and beyond with four scheduled cleanup events. This is a wonderful opportunity to give back to our community, strengthen bonds with fellow brothers and sisters, and fulfill our shared responsibility of caring for the environment around us.

All events begin at 7:00 AM and wrap up around 8:00 AM, followed by a complimentary Dunkin' Donuts breakfast. Events take place at ISGVF in Devon, PA.

Event reminders are sent via the ISGVF newsletter and WhatsApp community group. Dates are subject to change in the event of inclement weather — watch for updates.

Here's a look at how cleanup morning typically unfolds. We keep things moving so everyone can be done and enjoying breakfast by 8 AM!

PennDOT requires all participants to follow these safety guidelines. A brief review is included at every event, but please familiarize yourself in advance.

1. 1
   The minimum participation age is 8 years old. Participants ages 8–17 must be supervised by an adult (18+) at a ratio of one adult per eight youth. Children under 8 are welcome at the masjid and may help with grounds cleanup under adult supervision.
2. 2
   Always wear your provided safety vest while on or near the roadway. This is a PennDOT requirement — no exceptions.
3. 3
   Stay alert to traffic at all times. Never turn your back to oncoming traffic for extended periods.
4. 4
   Always work with a partner — never alone on the roadside. Groups are assigned by the coordinator at the start of each event.
5. 5
   Do not overfill bags. Leave full bags at the curb for the coordinator to collect — do not carry them back to the masjid yourself.
6. 6
   Stay within your assigned zone. Do not cross the road unless specifically directed by the coordinator.

Our Adopt-A-Highway committee organizes and coordinates all cleanup events. They're your go-to contacts for questions about the program.

For questions about the program, upcoming events, or how to get involved, please reach out to us directly.

We are currently looking for one additional volunteer to join the Adopt-A-Highway committee. If you're passionate about community service and would like to help organize and run these events, we'd love to hear from you. No prior experience necessary — just enthusiasm and a willingness to serve!
