Brief Project Summary: A need exists for many with disabilities to have assistance with yard clean up. Physical limitations prevent individuals with disabilities from maintaining their yards. By volunteering, you can help prevent fines to individuals with limited incomes, assisting them to remain more independent. The Whole Person believes in the value of allowing individuals to remain in their communities of choice and the homes they have created.
Volunteers are needed to perform low to moderate activities, including mowing, raking, weeding, cutting tree limbs, and planting. Additional information can be found on our website https://thewholeperson.org/get-involved/volunteer/planting-independence/ or by reaching us at this email. kgrooms@thewholeperson.org.
