Mozambique to host cleanup volunteers

Mozambique Steakhouse will host an after-party and concert on Sept. 25 for beach clean-up volunteers participating in the upcoming California Coastal Clean-up Day, in which volunteers conduct trash pick-up from 9 a.m. to noon at beach locations. Starting at noon immediately following the cleanup, participants are invited to Mozambique for a free “appreciation concert” featuring Jason Feddy and discounted pricing, with food and drinks starting at $3.

“The California Coastal Clean-up Day is a remarkable effort by thousands of volunteers. The Clean Water Now! Coalition has done a great job, and we are happy to show our support,” said Ivan Spiers, owner of Mozambique Steakhouse.

Mozambique is continuing its participation in the Mozambique Neighborhood Beautification effort, a cleanup organized by HelpBlueWater.com. Once a week, a team of volunteers pick up trash on the streets and beaches around the restaurant from noon to 1 pm. Mozambique has sponsored hundreds of T-shirts for the volunteers.

Mozambique also recently became a sponsor of the Clean Beach Station program. This new HelpBlueWater.com program keeps Laguna’s beaches clean while helping students throughout Orange County meet required community service hours. The Clean Beach Station program has recruited surf shops and stores along the coast to serve as information and supply stations.

Volunteers interested in participating at either clean-up events or anyone wanting more information can contact Rick Conkey at (949)573-8624 or rick@helpbluewater.com. Mozambique is located at 1740 S. Coast Hwy., Laguna Beach. For more information about Mozambique, call (949) 715-7777 or visit https://www.mozambiqueoc.com.
