Everyone is welcome to join this free community beach cleanup at Long Beach Veterans Memorial Pier. Veterans, families, and community members are invited to come together to protect our coastline and care for our shared environment.

Volunteers will be alongside Veterans to help remove plastic debris and litter from the sand before it can return to the ocean and landfills. Whether you are a Veteran, a local resident, or simply want to give back, your help will #MakeAnImpact


Location to Meet: Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier, Long Beach, CA
Look out for our RFV Branded EZUp on the North Side of the pier in the sand (below Belmont Brewing Co.)

We value the dedication of our military and civilian volunteers, which is why we offer volunteer hours and/or Letters of Appreciation (for our Active Duty/Reserves) for every event.

Our mission is to remove trash from our planet by empowering Veterans to clean our communities. We accomplish our mission by having Veteran operated teams organize cleanups throughout the U.S. In return, we are giving Veterans a chance to recycle their leadership skills and continue our service in a different and equally important way.
