Annual Milford Beautification Day Returns In 2024

MILFORD, MA — It's time again for Milford's trashiest event of the year.

Citizens for Milford's 9th annual community litter pickup will happen this year on April 27, giving residents, community groups and businesses the chance to help tidy up the town. As usual, the Milford Lions Club will be providing a BBQ lunch.

Here's more from a Citizens For Milford news release:

Citizens for Milford is organizing the Ninth Annual Milford Beautification Day, Milford’s annual clean-up event, which enables area residents, organizations, and businesses to work together to beautify our community by picking up trash around town. Milford Beautification Day will be held April 27, 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 municipal parking lot across from Sacred Heart Church, 5 East Main St., 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.

Beautification Day Chairperson Nancy Wojick says, “I hope that many people, young and old,
join us to clean up the streets of Milford on April 27. It is a great way to meet others from the
community who take pride in our town.”

All Beautification Day volunteers are invited to a free lunch courtesy of the Milford Lions Club, whose members will be cooking hamburgers and hot dogs on site as a thank you to everyone’s efforts to beautify our community.

To help ensure the organizers can plan the clean-up routes for volunteers, the group is asking residents to report streets and neighborhoods that are of particular concern. Residents can submit their recommendations by emailing them to CitizensforMilford@gmail.com or by messaging them to the Citizens for Milford Facebook page (@CitizensforMilford) before 5 p.m. on April 25.

Community involvement with Beautification Day continues to grow. Citizens for Milford is sincerely grateful to the Milford Highway Department, Friends of the Milford Upper Charles Trail, Milford Lions Club, and volunteers from Milford Federal Bank who are continuing their partnership with us. In addition, Citizens for Milford is pleased to welcome volunteers from Planet Aid and the Milford Doubletree Hotel, who will be joining our clean-up efforts this year.

Combined with the work of all residents who continue to volunteer on Beautification Day, this event is a true demonstration of community pride.
