ORGANIZATION
Seeking volunteers to assist with yard work for an elderly couple in Granite City. The husband is a disabled veteran with severe lung damage and awaiting a transplant. The yard is large, fenced, and uneven, with overgrown weeds, shrubs, and two sheds requiring attention. Their adult child lives 30 minutes away and is struggling to maintain the property due to work and weather.
We're looking for someone with the time and tools to help mow, trim, and clean up the space-ideally on a recurring or occasional basis. Your support would provide meaningful relief to a family in need.
Sign up to make a difference for those who’ve served.

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
I Want To Mow Your Lawn(r) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID: 85-3447661) that connects homeowners in need with a nationwide network of passionate landscaping volunteers. Launched in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, we provide completely free lawn care services to seniors over 65, military veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those facing financial challenges, while prioritizing eco-friendly practices and fostering community connection.
Founded by Brian Schwartz after being laid off from his digital advertising job, the initiative began as a way to stay engaged during a difficult time. It has since grown into a thriving platform with over 1,300 volunteers across the USA and even some enlisted in other countries. With their help, we've revitalized countless yards, spreading kindness one lawn at a time.
Thanks to support from leading battery-powered equipment manufacturers and recognition in major media outlets, I Want To Mow Your Lawn(r) has become a growing, trademarked brand. Our mission connects the dots between homeowners and volunteers, offering relief while encouraging neighbors to lend a hand and make a difference. Whether it's trimming, edging, or just showing up to say hello, our volunteers help transform neighborhoods into stronger, greener communities.
Join us in this growing movement. Whether as a volunteer or supporter, your involvement helps us expand our reach and bring smiles to even more homes.
