Service Impact: The DARTS lawn mowing volunteer plays a crucial part in helping older adults remain independent in their own homes by providing a service that is either difficult or impossible for them to manage on their own.

• Mow the lawn once a week or once every other week depending on the needs of the older homeowner
• Greet the homeowner at the door each time the service is provided
