Thank you so very much for your interest in Clean Bread and Cheese Creek. We can certainly use all as many volunteers as possible of all ages and abilities and we look forward to the possibility of working with you! We are all aware of the importance of our community’s history and particularly the important role it played during the War of 1812, Battle of North Point. The importance of preserving this history cannot be overstated. This event will be run in conjunction National Public Lands Day.
Please join us on July 11, 2026 as we cleanup three of our communities War of 1812 Monuments: Battle Acre Park, North Point Battlefield Park, and the Methodist Meeting House Monument. Registration will be located Battle Acre Park, 3115 S North Point Road, Dundalk, MD 21222. Looks for the “Clean Bread and Cheese Creek Banners. Registration will open at 8:00 am, and the cleanup will run from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. We have also included a flyer for this cleanup for your use.
We run our cleanups as a family event with plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We welcome every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the cleanup. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we need people to run water, snacks, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to help at registration, setup food and snacks as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. We will provide prepackaged snacks and water as well as gloves. A limited number of tools are available for sign-out, but suggest bringing your own if you have them
Volunteers are also needed to arrive early and stay late for setup and break down. Photographers and Videographers also needed!
