Martin Luther King Day of Service

The City of Ocean City in conjunction with the Ocean City Clean Communities Program will hold the annual citywide clean up on Jan. 21 from 10 a.m. to noon. Families, individuals and groups are encouraged to volunteer and help with this important community event.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service marks the beginning of the year of service as millions of Americans honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and volunteer their time to improve their communities. Ocean City has participated in the Day of Service since 2008.

Volunteers should register and pick up supplies beginning at 9 a.m. at the Howard S. Stainton Senior Center located at 1735 Simpson Avenue and should wear appropriate clothing and footwear. The city will provide gloves and trash bags.

All volunteers are invited back to the Howard S. Stainton Senior Center after the clean up for food and warm beverages.

Groups or organizations wishing to participate should call the Ocean City Public Works Department at 609-399-6111 ext. 9711 or 9702.
