Before winter hits, raking your yard 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. Join us in giving them a helping hand when prepping for winter.
Seniors, age 60 and older, who are physically unable to perform yard work and can’t afford to pay for services are eligible to sign up to have a team of volunteers come on October 24th. Seniors living in Marquette County can sign-up by calling 906-226-8171. Seniors are helped on a first-come, first-serve basis and dependent on the number of volunteers available

United Way of Marquette County has collaborated with the Community Foundation of Marquette County to establish the COVID-19 Community Response fund for people to donate to help meet immediate needs in the community related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
