Help our neighbors by cleaning up debris left by Winter
Storm Fern! When you volunteer, you will be making an immediate, visible
difference. You will be helping a neighbor who may be older, living alone,
or physically unable to clear their own property, as well as those who are
unable to afford the steep cost of debris removal - giving families hope that
they won’t be left behind.
Volunteer activities include sorting disaster debris on
right-of-way into appropriate piles for pick up. Debris includes vegetation,
construction materials, and household appliances. This may require lifting
and carrying objects that weigh 20+ pounds.
Important safety information: Closed-toe shoes and long
pants required. Heavy soles and steel toes preferred. Gloves and
safety goggles will be provided, or you may bring your own. Current
tetanus vaccination recommended. Chainsaws, utility crews, and heavy
equipment will be active in the area. Volunteers under the age
of 18 are prohibited from participating.
Please eat before you arrive and bring a water bottle, if needed. Restroom
opportunities may also be limited once you are in the disaster area.
Please express interest and a representative will be in contact about next
steps. Thank you for helping our neighbors recover after the storm! Together,
we are building stronger communities through service.
Once you have responded to this project via the GetConnected system, a Hands On representative will be in contact about additional steps to finalize your spot in the project.
