Many seniors find yard maintenance a challenge and would enjoy having someone lend them a hand with seasonal yard clean up. Although there are a few people who need help on a weekly basis (and are willing to pay for that help), most seniors just need help with the big yard clean ups in early spring and late fall.
The Dover Council on Aging has had several successful coordinated clean up events where athletes from one of the DSHS sports teams or students from the National Honorary Society have gathered on a weekend afternoon for a team lunch followed by a few hours of yard work at homes throughout town. We always have requests for yard work helpers, so if outdoor work is your cup of tea, this opportunity is for you!
