Your Generous Help is Needed!
A disabled elderly man, homebound and without much local support, has relied on our nonprofit’s assistance for the past 4 years. We’ve recently tidied up his front yard, but now we need your help to clear leaves from his backyard to the street curb before the township’s final pickup on December 11th.
No bagging is required-just moving the leaves to the curb. Volunteers with leaf blowers would make the job faster, but a group with rakes would also be fantastic and deeply appreciated.
Can you help? Please reach out ASAP if you or your group can assist on or before December 10th. Together, we can ensure this gentleman’s yard is taken care of and show him he’s not alone.
Sign up today to lend a hand! Thank you for your kindness.

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.
