    Description

    Join Our Rake & Run Program!

    Looking for a meaningful way to give back and make a difference in your community? Sign up for Rake & Run, a program that helps homebound seniors by raking and beautifying their yards. This is a fantastic team-building opportunity for individuals, families, friends, and coworkers to come together and lend a helping hand.

    When: Held in Spring and Fall, with flexible dates and times to fit your schedule.

    What You’ll Do: Volunteers will rake leaves, clear debris, and help restore the yards of seniors who can no longer do this work themselves.

    Supplies Provided: We’ll supply the rakes, bags, and other essentials-you just bring your energy and, if possible, your own garden gloves.

    Why Volunteer?

    • Support Seniors: Help our seniors enjoy a clean and welcoming yard, showing them they’re cared for.
    • Team Building: Strengthen bonds while giving back to the community.
    • Make an Impact: Your efforts will directly improve the quality of life for homebound seniors.

    Whether you can spare a few hours or a full day, every bit of help makes a big difference. Gather your group or come solo-there’s a place for everyone in Rake & Run!

    Directions

    We will provide rakes, mats, and bags for the cleanup effort, and kindly encourage volunteers to bring their own gloves. This initiative offers an excellent opportunity for workplace teams, church groups, and families to engage in meaningful community service. By assisting local seniors in maintaining the beauty of their properties, volunteers help strengthen and connect our community.

    If you are interested in participating, don't hesitate to get in touch with me to schedule your cleanup day and be partnered with a senior in need.
