Operation Clean Sweep Wraps Up Another Successful Year

Operation Clean Sweep is celebrating another successful year of beautifying New Bedford. About 50 volunteers and the Whaling City Clippers helped out Saturday morning for Clean Sweep’s final event of the season in Ward Four. Over 500 residents have come to help out in the Operation’s seven-year history. Organizer Lynn Coish says part of what keeps her going, is seeing new volunteers come out to help every year.
