Partnering with Ocean Recovery Community Alliance (ORCA)
As if the artisan market wasn’t enough, the Seaside Artisan Market is also teaming up with the Ocean Recovery Community Alliance (ORCA) to host a beach cleanup. From 11 AM to 1 PM, volunteers will gather to help clean up Misquamicut Beach and make a positive impact on the environment. This is a great opportunity for those who want to give back to the community and keep our beloved beach pristine.
ORCA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting coastal communities through education and hands-on cleanup efforts. By partnering with local events like this one, they hope to raise awareness about the importance of keeping our oceans and beaches free from litter and pollution. Every piece of trash collected helps protect marine life and ensures that future generations can continue to enjoy the beauty of Misquamicut Beach.
