Leaf Rakers Needed to Help Seniors

Save to Favorites

Fall in Northeast Ohio is beautiful as the leaves change colors. As the color fades, all of those leaves fall to the ground. For many seniors in Lake County, who are unable to rake their own yards; they are faced with a yard full of dead leaves and no way to remove them.

Lake County Council on Aging needs your help to rake leaves. Bring your rake, blower or vacuum to remove leaves and prepare them for disposal.

Individuals are welcome to join a group of other volunteers for a specific day and time to rake leaves at a senior's home. A fun way to meet new people and provide a meaningful service at the same time.

Groups are welcome and will be matched with a senior in their area on a coordinated day and time. A great project for students, service groups or church groups.

Leaf raking projects can be weekdays or weekends and will only take a few hours depending on the size of the yard and the size of the group. Great service project for students, church groups, neighborhoods, and families.

Helen Keller said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Enjoy a beautiful Fall day and help us do so much for seniors in Lake County.
