Volunteers Needed for VINE Faith in Action’s Rake the Town Community Service Event

VINE Faith in Action’s annual community service event, Rake the Town will be taking place November 1-9 throughout Blue Earth and Nicollet Counties.

VINE already has a list of older homeowners in the area requesting help with their leaf raking and needs more volunteers to assist. Those interested in helping can sign up online at vinevolunteers.org or by calling (507) 387-1666. Volunteers can choose their preferred day, time, and location to rake. VINE will provide the rakes and supplies needed along with the addresses of the homes.

Homeowners 65 years and older in Blue Earth or Nicollet Counties who need help with raking leaves, can contact VINE’s Program Director, Adam Massmann, at (507) 386-5574. A short intake will be completed for those who have not previously received the service. While there is no formal charge for Rake the Town, donations are requested to help cover the cost of supplies.

Anyone with questions can contact VINE at (507) 387-1666 or visit vinevolunteers.org to learn more.
