In our later years, it gets harder to get some things done that need doing –especially when it comes to yard work. The summer heat is too daunting, the autumn breezes blow a little too hard… spring rains can lead to a bad fall…
A very worthwhile environmental fundraiser is Senior Yard Care.
Set a price per hour or per job for typical yard projects. Gather a group of individuals, some rakes, gloves, wheelbarrows, and set aside a few afternoons or evenings to get the jobs done. Consider selling gift certifictes as part of your fundraiser so people can purchase your services and give the gift to be used by someone else.
