The leaves are falling...and some are already down and off the trees. This makes the ground look beautiful!
Raking leaves can be a very hard task for some of those in our neighborhoods and this is a great opportunity to serve those that live near you.
Here are a few steps to take if you know of a family or see a yard that might need some maintenance this fall:
- this is a parent/child activity
- ask the owner first if it is ok to help them out with some raking.
- be sure to identify yourself and wear your AHG uniform or one of your AHG t-shirts.
- bring your rake and some trash bags
- ask the owner where the bags of leaves can be placed
- be sure to let the owner know when you are down and wish them a great day.
- remember to pray for the family you helped. You could even make a card for them and send it in the mail letting them know how much you appreciate the opportunity to help them out with their leaves.
- record the service time you spent raking leaves and praying for the family and staying in contact with them.
