Service Saturday! brings groups of volunteers together to complete seasonal yard and home chores for older adult households. Volunteers help with tasks around an older adult home such as raking leaves, planting, gardens maintenance, pulling weeds, washing windows, moving yard furniture into place for the season, seasonal cleaning & organizing, gutter cleaning and more...all while enjoying meeting and spending time with an older adult neighbor. Homes receiving yard work will be located in the Windsor, Johnstown, Milliken area.
Service Saturday! is an intergenerational event and volunteers include families, students and neighbors of all ages.
