Ways you can help:
Volunteer Locally
We like to keep it simple. If you have a lawnmower, you’re good to go. Keep on the lookout for an elderly neighbor who might need a quick mow and knock on their door (always ask permission first). Or, become a Mow It Forward Hero by filling out our volunteer form and we’ll let you know when there is a need in your area – no obligation of course. Either way, we’d love to hear about your experience! We’ll even post your story to our Hero Board (don’t forget to include photos and/or video).
Make a Donation
This is an easy one! Simply use the Make a Donation form on this page to send a donation of any amount – no donation is too small and every little bit helps! Tell us how you want your donation used or leave it up to us. An “as-needed” donation will be used for:
- Hiring lawn care providers in areas where we don’t have volunteers (if you would like to volunteer in your area, click here)
- Equipment and maintenance. In addition to the equipment we use every day, we also loan and grant equipment to our most productive volunteers.
- Advertising directed at landscaping companies. Many are willing to mow an extra yard or two at low-or-no cost if they happen to be in the area.
- Growth initiatives. We are constantly working to expand our reach and ability to respond quickly to urgent needs.
- Miscellaneous administrative costs. We have a very small volunteer staff, but we do have every-day expenses similar to a small business.
Equipment & Repairs
We can always use yard equipment. Anything in good working order, or even needing minor repairs, can help us equip our volunteers and replace broken equipment. Simply send us a message using our Equipment Donation form. We will arrange for a pickup.
