Volunteers are needed to mow lawns for seniors and those with disabilities this summer. Mowing begins as soon as the yard is ready for mowing and ends in November based on need and weather.  The volunteer should be available to mow every 5 - 7 days early in the season, every 7 - 10 days later in the season, or as needed and agreed upon with homeowner.  Homeowners may or may not have a lawn mower.  If you are able to transport your mower to a location, please include that in your response.

This lawn would take approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to mow.

Please respond if interested and you will be contacted when you are matched to a request for assistance.
