Marshfield Area United Way is now taking registrations for
this year’s Make A Difference Day. On Saturday, October 26, 2013, volunteers
will gather to rake lawns for Marshfield residents whom are unable to do so
themselves.
Residents in need of assistance with their lawns should call
United Way at 715-384-9992 to see if they qualify. For those needing assistance
with their lawn, please be aware that based on need and due to the time
constraints, and age, of the majority of the volunteers, Marshfield Area United
Way cannot guarantee residents with larger than average size city lots or
heavily wooded lots can be raked.
Anyone receiving help on this day must be home when the
volunteers are there raking. Additionally, residents are responsible for having
enough leaf bags available for the volunteers to use. If there aren’t enough
bags for the leaves, the leaves will be raked into a pile on the lawn only.
Volunteers helping on this day are asked to register by
logging on to www.volunteermarshfield.org
and clicking on ‘Make A Difference Day.” Here, you can sign-up individually or
as a team. Make A Difference Day is a great group event to help out your
community with friends, family, classmates, church groups and/or co-workers.
You can also register yourself or group by sending an email to unitedway@tznet.com or calling 715-384-9992.
Volunteers are asked to register in advance so United Way
can estimate how many lawns can be raked during the event. Everyone will gather
at the Marshfield Senior Center, 111 South Maple Ave (next to the Marshfield
Public Library), at 8:30 the morning of the 26th to receive instructions and
lawn assignments. United Way asks that volunteers bring their own rakes and
have their own transportation. A light snack and water will be provided.
If you have any further questions or are in need of
assistance with your lawn, please contact Marshfield Area United Way at
715-384-9992.
