Calling All Bergen Volunteers!
We have an opportunity to make a difference for an 84-year-old homebound woman living alone in Rutherford, NJ. Her Power of Attorney has reached out for assistance with leaf removal from her property before the winter season begins.
We're seeking an individual or group willing to help with this one-time effort. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own rakes or leaf blowers and gloves. The ability to transport yourself to her home is also needed.
If you're ready to lend a hand and make an impact, please reach out today! Your kindness and support are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

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
Launched in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, I Want To Mow Your Lawn (r) , a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID: 853447661), offers completely free lawn care to seniors over 65, military veterans, the disabled, and those facing financial challenges - all while prioritizing eco-friendly practices. Founder Brian Schwartz, who was laid off from his digital advertising job, saw it as a chance to make a difference when the world felt chaotic.
As time progressed, the demand surged, and a growing number of volunteers joined Brian's mission. Currently, over 340 volunteers across 40 states have revitalized more than 500 yards. For those receiving assistance from I Want To Mow Your Lawn(tm), the grass might not always be greener, but it's neatly trimmed, edged, and raked.
Global media coverage has led to an impressive six-fold increase in volunteer sign-ups for the upcoming 2023 spring-summer season.
