Buckroe Beach Clean Up - Hampton, VA

An SNHU Global Days of Service Official Site

Event Details: Saturday, April 4, 2020 | 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. | Buckroe Beach Park (1 S. First Street, Hampton, VA 23664)

Learn More: Clean up Buckroe Beach with local SNHU community members. Gina Street is looking for help picking up trash and debris. What was supposed to be a project to replenish sand washed away on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, turned into an environmental hazard. We're looking for volunteers to help with check in, monitoring the clean up site, first aid, and more! There is a chance this project will get picked up by local news stations who originally reported on the story.

Dress in layers, closed-toe shoes, and bring sun protection, if needed. Please bring your own work gloves, trash bags, snacks, and water. We will need to haul all trash collected, if anyone has a truck, we welcome your assistance. This project is family-friendly, so bring the kids (suggested ages are 10+; you know your child(ren) better than we do, so if they're willing and able, bring them along). 

Volunteers will meet in front of the restroom building on Buckroe Beach. Please park in a designated area, and no pets allowed. Restrooms, grills, and shelters are available on site.

Two shift times (sign up for one or both!):

• 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
• 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Rain date is Saturday 4/11/2020.
