WHEN: Tuesday, December 2, 2025 | 5–7 PM

WHERE: Nashoba Brook Bakery, 152 Commonwealth Avenue #3, Concord, MA 01742

Instead of asking for donations on Giving Tuesday, OARS 3 Rivers is giving back. Join us for an evening of snacks, drinks, and community, and meet the OARS team!

This event also kicks off our December theme: Clean up Your Assabet. Special “Clean up Your Assabet” T-shirts will be on sale—get yours before they run out!

Come be part of the very first celebration in a year of exciting events honoring OARS’ 40th anniversary!

Registration is highly encouraged, although not required.
