City of Hoboken invites volunteers to register for annual Spring Fling

Mayor Emily B. Jabbour today invited residents, local businesses, and community groups to participate in the City of Hoboken's ninth annual Spring Fling, a citywide day of service dedicated to beautifying Hoboken's parks and public spaces. The cleanup event will take place on Saturday, May 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at various locations throughout the city.

Volunteers will take part in high-impact projects across Hoboken, including cleaning parks, streets, beaches, and other public areas; weeding, planting, and mulching green spaces; and painting benches, fences, and other public amenities.

"Spring Fling is one of Hoboken's most impactful community wide days of service which brings neighbors together to improve the common places we all share," said Mayor Jabbour. "From Mama Johnson Field to our waterfront, this event reflects the pride our residents have in their city. Thank you to all those who volunteer as well as the Hoboken Green Team and Department of Infrastructure staff for organizing this annual tradition."

Individual volunteers must be at least 16 years old, but those who register as part of a team may be younger if accompanied by a trusted adult. Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Interested participants are encouraged to register by the May 2 deadline by clicking here.

The City will notify volunteers of their assigned project and location via email on May 8.
