Before winter hits, raking your yard and cleaning out gutters is a vital step to ensuring spring snow melt does not cause water damage to your home or lawn. Many area seniors try to accomplish this work on their own, putting them at risk for falls and serious injury.
On Thursday, November 7th join hundreds of Berrien County volunteers who will give area seniors a helping hand! Gather your co-workers or friends and create a team to rake and bag leaves, and clean gutters for seniors as part of United Way’s 9th annual "Rake A Difference. A Day of Action for Seniors". On Friday, November 8th we will give a helping hand to Cass and Van Buren County seniors.
This day serves seniors, age 60 and older, who are physically incapable of performing yard work and are unable to pay for services. Sign up for your geographic location or anywhere you needed. Shifts available for all day, or for half days. Volunteers working all day will be giving a Pizza Hut gift card for lunch. Thank you for helping our seniors!

REMEMBER! We also have the Rake A Difference Photo Contest too. Your team could win the 'Rake A Difference' traveling trophy (currently held by Sun Coast Packaging) and be featured in next years print material. Just post pictures of your team 'Raking a Difference' to Facebook on the day of this event with the Hastag #RakeADifference to enter.
NOTE -ONLY PICK ONE SHIFT BELOW! These are to identify teams that can only work afternoons or mornings. If your team can work ALL DAY, please only choose that shift.
