UNITED WAY OF SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN NEEDS VOLUNTEERS FOR ITS 12TH ANNUAL “RAKE A DIFFERENCE” TO HELP SENIORS WITH FALL YARD WORK! Sign up before Oct 14 at volunteer.uwsm.org! Volunteer teams are called to serve seniors in Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties. On Thursday, November 10, 2022, hundreds of area volunteers, working as teams, will help seniors in Southwest Michigan rake and bag leaves and clean gutters as part of United Way’s 12th annual “Rake A Difference.” The service is FREE of charge and serves seniors, age 60 and older, who can’t physically perform yard work and can’t afford to pay for services. Seniors are helped on a first-come, first-served basis, dependent on the number of volunteers available. Before winter hits, raking leaves and cleaning out gutters is a vital step to ensuring spring snow melt does not cause water damage to home or lawn. Many area seniors try to accomplish this work on their own, putting them at risk for falls and serious injury. United Way of Southwest Michigan mobilizes the community to give them a helping hand in prepping for winter. Volunteers can sign up at volunteer.uwsm.org. The deadline for volunteers to sign up is Oct. 14. “There is great need for this volunteer service in our communities. Raking leaves and cleaning gutters can be difficult, if not impossible, for many seniors, but with your help, seniors can be ready for winter,” said Debbie Ramirez, Volunteer Engagement Director at United Way of Southwest Michigan. “Rake A Difference is fun team-building experience for many businesses, organizations, and other groups—sign up a team today!” For more information and to sign up, visit //uwsm.org/rake-a-difference.
