Check-in times are from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Please bring your own cleanup equipment if available, including iron rakes, shovels, buckets, trash grabbers, work gloves, heavy-duty trash bags (clear), and sunscreen. Cold water will be provided during the whole duration of the event. Some supplies will be available for volunteer use, but bringing your own tools will help us cover more ground. Please wear appropriate outdoor clothing, closed-toe shoes or boots, and anything needed for sun, sand, heat, and shoreline conditions.As a thank-you, free hamburgers, hotdogs, watermelon, and drinks will be provided for all volunteers, with food ready around 11:00 AM.
