Operation Clean Sweep in New Bedford set for Aug. 19

Grab your friends, classmates, neighbors and colleagues to form a Cleanup Team! Teams work together in areas that are always trashed, are a blight on our neighborhoods or harmful to wildlife. Come alone, join a Team or go the extra mile and sign up as a Team Captain, you can even recruit a friend or family member to be a Co-Captain.

Hosted by: Veterans Transition House
When: Saturday, August 19th from 8:30 – Noon
Where: Corner of Purchase & Willis Streets, New Bedford
