Rake A Difference is an opportunity for a wide variety of volunteers to get involved and help our local seniors. Unlike most community service events, there are no age restrictions for this one! Children, teens, adults, church groups, and businesses are all able to join in the fun!
What Do You Do:
Volunteer teams will be assigned an elderly home identified by a local agency to rake. United Way provides rakes, gloves, and leaf bags for each site. Volunteers are welcome to provide their own rake. Teams arrive at a pre-determined time and rake their yard and leave the bags in the front of the yard for pickup/disposal.
Dates & Times:
This volunteer opportunity is incredibly flexible. Rake A Difference takes place on Saturday, November 2. Yards are scheduled to be raked between 1:00 PM & 3:00 PM. HOWEVER, if you are signing up as a team, you may complete your yard at any time during the day as long as you choose your time before the day of volunteering. This allows flexibility for workforce & agency teams.
Assignments and addresses will be provided one week before Rake A Difference Day. If you or your team have a preferred neighborhood or area, please indicate this in the comments during sign-up. We will strive to accommodate all requests; however, specific assignments cannot be guaranteed.
