🍂Rake a Difference: A Little Yardwork, a Big Impact


United Way of Fond du Lac County’s Rake a Difference brings volunteers together to help older adults and neighbors with disabilities who need assistance with fall yard cleanup. For someone who cannot safely rake their yard, this support eases a seasonal burden and reminds them that their community cares.


We’re looking for individuals, families, coworkers, and community groups to lend a hand! It’s a meaningful way to connect with neighbors and turn a few hours of your time into a lasting act of kindness.


Help us rake a difference! Contact Stephanie at slewis@fdlunitedway.org to volunteer or learn more. 🍁
