WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS!

 

What is LawnBusters?

LawnBusters is volunteer lawn-care service for seniors and/or persons with disabilities. Volunteers help residents remain in their homes safely over the spring and summer by reducing the risk of them harming themselves in the heat using lawn equipment. The LawnBusters community program matches eligible individuals with volunteers who commit to cutting grass and trimming edges from a residents’ front and/or back lawn as needed.

The LawnBuster volunteers are an essential part of making a life-changing experience for our community, whether you become a LawnBuster or simply help out a neighbour on your block. Help to build a stronger and safer community and create an opportunity for an important connection.
