We have just teamed up with the Social Services Department in Columbus, Ohio as an outreach group for people in need. We assist seniors, people with disabilities, veterans and people who are temporarily unable to pay for assistance themselves.
We primarily provide assistance for lawn care such as mowing, leaf raking, weeding, trimming, etc., but also provide assistance for minor handyman projects including installation of handrails, security lights, wheelchair ramps, gutter cleaning and more.
We ask our volunteers to do what they can, but never anything beyond their comfort level. We often have more than one person helping when multiple skills are required. If you don't feel that you can accomplish a task, you can always say no, and we will look for another volunteer. We never ask our volunteers to pay for materials for work done (except gas for your mower). The client is expected to pay for materials.
With our new partnership, we expect to get a number of requests and we want to be prepared with our Volunteer Forces at the ready!
These requests will be located throughout Columbus and the surrounding areas served by their Social Services Department.

Mission Statement
To preserve dignity, enable independence and build community by providing eco-friendly essential lawn service for the elderly, veterans and others in need.
Description
Launched in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, I Want To Mow Your Lawn (r) , a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID: 853447661), offers completely free lawn care to seniors over 65, military veterans, the disabled, and those facing financial challenges - all while prioritizing eco-friendly practices. Founder Brian Schwartz, who was laid off from his digital advertising job, saw it as a chance to make a difference when the world felt chaotic.
As time progressed, the demand surged, and a growing number of volunteers joined Brian's mission. Currently, over 340 volunteers across 40 states have revitalized more than 500 yards. For those receiving assistance from I Want To Mow Your Lawn(tm), the grass might not always be greener, but it's neatly trimmed, edged, and raked.
Global media coverage has led to an impressive six-fold increase in volunteer sign-ups for the upcoming 2023 spring-summer season.
