Rake Your Heart Out
Cleaning Neighborhoods One Yard at a Time
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2023
ABOUT
Every November volunteers from local businesses, community organizations, and corporations come together to clean up the yards of elderly, disabled, or veteran homeowners in Salt Lake County in our annual Rake Your Heart Out event.
Our goal is to help homeowners who cannot physically clean up their home themselves make positive impacts, not just for the house itself, but for everyone involved. By helping beautify just one home, the homeowners feel like a valued part of their community, the neighbors get inspired to spruce up their homes too, and the volunteers know they can truly make a difference for others.
VOLUNTEER TO RAKE
Rake Your Heart Out would not be possible without volunteers. Rake Your Heart Out is a great team-building activity that makes you feel good while doing it - and you get to volunteer outside of the office and make a difference in the community!
We accept volunteer team applications all year long, so sign up today!
