Milford Beautification Day Will Feature Cookout

MILFORD, MA — The sixth annual Milford Beautification Day is coming up on Saturday, and organizers have added a cookout for volunteers, Citizens For Milford said this week.

The litter-pickup event coincides with 2021 Earth Day celebrations. Volunteers will meet near Sacred Heart Church Saturday morning to get litter pickup supplies, and then fan out across Milford.

Following the litter pickup, the Milford Lions Club will host a cookout featuring hamburgers and hot dogs for volunteers. E.L. Harvey and Sons is donating equipment for volunteers.

“I hope that many people, young and old, join us to clean up the streets of Milford on April 24," Citizens for Milford Chair Amie Sanborn said in a news release. "It is a great way to meet others from the community who take pride in their town.”

Anyone interested in volunteering should meet with organizers anytime between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. in the municipal parking lot across from Sacred Heart Church, 5 East Main St., to get supplies, instructions and assignments.

The will take place rain or shine, but the current forecast calls for partly sunny skies and highs in the mid 60s.
