KCSC Rakes! - Homeowner Application/Registration

KC Shepherd’s Center would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered for our 2024 KC Rakes event! Whether you joined us on November 1st & 2nd or November 15th & 16th, your hard work and dedication made a tremendous impact in the lives of older adults in Kansas City.

We are so grateful for each one of you who rolled up your sleeves, grabbed a rake, and gave your time and energy to make a difference. Your efforts, combined with your creativity as you themed your teams, truly exemplify the spirit of community we cherish!

Thanks to you, more seniors in our community will be able to enjoy safer, cleaner yards this winter. Together, we are creating a stronger, more connected Kansas City.

We couldn’t have done it without you, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Who is this for?

Hundreds of volunteers from all over the metro are needed to address the need of older adults this fall.  KC Shepherd's Center is looking to partner with corporate volunteers, local businesses, families, churches, schools, scouting groups, civic groups and individuals that are ready to grab a rake and go to work!

 

What to Expect

Light yard work and raking for older adults who are no longer physically able to care for their yards and can't always afford to hire help.  5-8 people will be assigned to each home.  You may sign up as a team or be assigned to a team. Most homes only take between 2-4 hours to complete.
