When does registration close?

The final day to register volunteers and/or a lawn to be raked is Sunday, October 27.

What if I can rake only one day or can't stay for the whole time?

That's totally okay!  We welcome any and all volunteers for as long as you are willing and able to help.  We do ask that you give us a firm commitment on your availability in order to ensure all lawns get completed.

I don't want to rake, can I still be involved?

Of course! A great way to show your support is through the donation of supplies, such as rakes, gloves, and leaf bags.  Monetary donations may also be made to the Pocatello Free Clinic to purchase supplies.

Where will I rake? What if I need a ride?

Lawns to be raked are in Pocatello and Chubbuck neighborhoods.  You are given the option to indicate where you prefer to rake and request transportation, if needed.
