2023 Senior Lawncare Service Needs Your Help!

The award-winning NPU-S Senior Lawncare Service has been going gangbusters for over a month so far, and we can't be more pleased! Since the program started back up in mid-April, our mowers have gone out over fifty times to take care of the lawns of neighborhood seniors.

However, our funding is far from limitless. Right now, we have the funds to continue through June - but at the current rate, July is looking uncertain. We don't want to have our seniors going out to do yardwork during the hottest months of the year, so we're asking for donations to help keep it going!

We've started an online campaign to raise more funding to get us through the summer. Please donate what you can, and spread the word!

If you have any questions about how the Senior Lawncare Service operates check out our webpage at https://www.npu-s.org/p/senior-lawncare-program.html or contact Nick Hess at chair@npu-s.org. The online campaign is at https://www.gofundme.com/f/npus-senior-lawncare-2023.
