Summer is in full swing, and what better way to celebrate recovery and give back to our beautiful community than by hosting a Dockweiler State Beach cleanup? West LA Recovery is excited to announce a day of service, sunshine, and solidarity.
Why Clean Up Dockweiler State Beach?
Dockweiler State Beach is a beloved Los Angeles landmark, known for its expansive shoreline, bonfire pits, and stunning views. But like many beaches, it’s vulnerable to pollution. Plastic debris, discarded fishing gear, and other litter can harm wildlife, disrupt ecosystems, and detract from the beach’s natural beauty.
At West LA Recovery, we believe in the power of giving back. Participating in a Beach cleanup not only helps protect this valuable resource, but it also fosters a sense of purpose and connection within our recovery community. Research has shown that volunteering has numerous benefits for individuals in recovery, including:
- Reduced stress and anxiety: Focusing on helping others can shift our attention away from personal worries.
- Increased self-esteem: Contributing to a positive cause can boost our sense of self-worth.
- Stronger social connections: Working together towards a common goal can create lasting bonds.
