Peabody Pride Spring Clean Up Day Saturday

PEABODY, MA – The annual Peabody Pride spring volunteer community clean up day will be held on Saturday starting at 9 a.m.

Volunteers can go to City Hall at 9 a.m. to pick up supplies and go to targeted areas through downtown Peabody. Volunteers will get a free pizza lunch at the Leather City Common at 11:30 a.m.

"Many of us who grew up in Peabody remember the deep feelings of pride which came with being part of this unique community," said Mayor Ted Bettencourt. "As Mayor, I have strived to restore that sense of Peabody as a special place to live, work, go to school and raise a family. These clean-ups have proven to be a great occasion to get together with family, friends and neighbors and do something positive and constructive towards making Peabody a better place."

In the event of inclement weather on April 29, the cleanup will be held on Saturday, May 6. Volunteers can check the city’s website, www.peabody-ma.gov for announcements relative to postponement if weather becomes a factor.

The clean up is part of Bettencourt's Peabody Pride In Motion initiative.
