What We Provide: All tools needed, sunblock, water refill jug, light snacks, and designated team members who take pictures and ensure safety.

Safety Guidelines: Drink plenty of water and take breaks as needed. Set a timer to come back at a set time. Watch out for sharp objects, glass, and wildlife. Avoid heavy lifting and work with a buddy at all times. Do not touch hazardous materials such as needles or chemicals. Report heavy items to our designated team member.

Post Cleanup: Weigh your buckets and join the group photo at 10:45 am.

Why Help: Beach cleanups are a last line of defense to prevent debris from causing harm to our oceans, to wildlife, to our coastal economies, and even beach-goers. After Hurricane Milton these efforts are needed more than ever.
