Milford Beautification Day Planned for Saturday, April 28

Please plan to join Citizens for Milford on Saturday, April 28 as we make a CLEAN SWEEP across our community by picking up trash to beautify Milford!

Milford Beautification Day provides an opportunity for area residents, organizations, and businesses to work together to beautify our community. Milford Beautification Day will be held Saturday, April 28th (rain or shine) from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. All interested citizens are invited to meet with organizers anytime between those hours in the parking lot across from Sacred Heart Church (5 East Main Street) to get supplies, instructions, and assignments.

Families, community groups, churches, local businesses, and teenagers who need to perform service hours are all invited to participate. Younger children are encouraged to attend as long as they are accompanied by a
supervising adult.

Trash bags, gloves, and water will be provided to all volunteers. Many of the supplies are being donated by
Republic Services. The Friends of the Milford Upper Charles Trail is co-sponsoring Beautification Day with Citizens for Milford.

Anyone interested in volunteering or participating in any way on April 28—as an individual, a family, or a group—is encouraged to contact Amie Sanborn by email at CitizensforMilford@gmail.com. Although it is not necessary to sign up in advance, Sanborn notes that having an idea of the number of interested participants can help ensure enough supplies are available.

The event sponsors are grateful for the assistance and donations provided by the Milford Board of Health, the Milford Highway Department, Republic Services, and the Worcester County Sheriff's Department Community
Service Program.
