ORGANIZATION: DARTS

  • 14 people are interested
Volunteer Assisting with Yard Work

Overview: Volunteer assists an older homeowner by mowing their lawn for an entire mowing season. Season usually begins in May and ends in October. Lawn mower provided by homeowner.

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. Keeping their lawns looking neat allows the older homeowners to maintain a feeling of pride in their property and helps them remain a vital part of their neighborhood.

Key Responsibilities:

  • 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
  • Follow DARTS safety rules and volunteer guidelines
  • Report volunteer hours each time by calling 651-234-2287.
  • Notify Volunteer Resources if unable to mow as scheduled
