“There are many senior citizens who are unable to get their leaves raked and yards cleaned up for winter,” said Commissioner  Cavanagh.  “Our goal is to service 25 households that day, but the key is to get enough volunteers so that we can make that happen.  The phone keeps ringing with calls from seniors who need help, but need more volunteers to be able to accommodate everyone in need.”

Individuals are asked to volunteer that morning from 9 a.m. to around 12 noon.  Volunteers will receive coffee and donuts, a t-shirt and a free lunch.  All necessary equipment (rakes, yard waste bags, etc.,) will be provided.
