The Bedford Village Chowder & Marching Club raises funds primarily through two annual events, Spring Clean-Up-Weekend and the Fall Dinner Dance.
For over 30 years, on the first weekend in May, C&M and local volunteers of Bedford gather together to clean-up the roads around Bedford. We also encourage Bedford residents to dispose of any unwanted bulk items on the Friday and Saturday of that week, at a special opening of the Bedford Highway Yard on Crusher Road in Bedford Village. C&Mers, along with many neighbor volunteers provide truck pick-ups of old household items for residents of the Town of Bedford in exchange for a tax-deductible donation to C&M. At the Bedford Highway Yard, many of these items, are resold at C&M’s fabulous Tag Sale, with all proceeds going to benefit youth programs in Bedford.
