ORGANIZATION: I Want To Mow Your Lawn ®

image_20240524200530

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

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.
