HOBOKEN, NJ — The city of Hoboken said this week that they're looking for local volunteers for Spring Fling, a community wide day of service dedicated to cleaning city parks and public spaces.

The seventh annual Spring Fling will take place on Saturday, June 1, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in various locations within Hoboken.

“I encourage residents and community members to join us for this year’s Spring Fling day of service,” said Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla. “It is a chance to make a noticeable impact on your neighborhood while fostering a stronger, more connected community. From park cleanups to plantings, every effort counts!”
