The Story:
Martha and several of her neighbors have lived in their homes for decades. As spouses have passed and physical demands increased, once-manageable yards have quietly become overwhelming. Overgrown brush and fallen limbs aren’t just unsightly—they create real safety risks. Our local Rotary Club is organizing a “Service Saturday” to help, bringing volunteers ready to work, but support to cover essential equipment and cleanup costs is very helpful.

The Impact:
Your contribution funds a heavy-duty wood chipper, yard-waste disposal, and fresh mulch to stabilize and restore these spaces. In a single day, stress is reduced, hazards are removed, and dignity is preserved. Most importantly, elderly neighbors are reminded they are not alone— that their community still shows up for them.
