Family Volunteer Opportunity: Charles River Cleanup Day

The Charitable Givings Committee brings you an opportunity to celebrate Earth Day by volunteering with your family. WMF volunteers (children and spouses welcome!) will join the Wellesley Natural Resources Commission (NRC) during the Charles River Cleanup, sponsored by the Charles River Watershed Association.  

The event brings together more than 3,000 local volunteers each year to pick up litter and assist with park maintenance, and builds on a national effort as part of American Rivers' National River Cleanup®, which to date, has removed over 32 million pounds of trash from America's waterways. 

The WMF team will be given a designated area and clean up task that is child friendly.  All of the necessary tools and bags will be provided.  Bringing your own gloves is encouraged, but if not possible, all necessary supplies will be provided at the event. Closed toed shoes, long pants and long sleeved shirts are strongly encouraged.

Feel free to volunteer for the entire event, or participate for whatever amount of time you are able.   

Thank you for your support!
