THIS JUST IN: Rake a Difference Needs 600 More Volunteers by Friday So No Senior Is Left Waiting

Form a team or join one of Area Agency on Aging's!

Seniors are registered. Teams are forming. Now we need you.

On November 12, volunteers will head into neighborhoods across Southwest Michigan to rake leaves, bag them and help local seniors get their yards ready for winter.

We're especially looking for volunteers in Cass and Van Buren counties. If you can bring a few people and give a few hours, there's a senior who could use your help.

Grab a team. Rake a yard. Rake A Difference.
