Spring Clean-Up

Active Generations is hosting its First Annual Spring Clean-Up on May 4th, 5th & 6th, 2023. To register, call 605-333-3317 as soon as possible! Only team leaders need to register.
Registration:
• Organize an enthusiastic group of 4–6 co-workers, students, church members, service groups, or friends and family who enjoy helping the elderly.
• Children are welcome to participate if supervised by adults.
• We estimate it takes a team 1-4 hours to rake a yard depending on the yard size and the team.
• Teams can register to rake as many yards as they feel they can complete, but once you accept a yard assignment, you are committing to completing the assignment.
• If the weather is nice you can contact Active Generations to get the yard bags to do your yards earlier in the week if it works best for your team.
• When registering, you will be able to choose a preferred zip code area.
• The WOW office does not view the yards regarding sizes prior to Rake the Town.
Address Assignments and Supply Pick-up instructions:
• Yard assignments and supplies will be available for pick-up at Active Generations on Thursday, May 4th 12:00pm – 5:00 pm, Friday, May 5th 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, and Saturday, May 6th 8:00 am - noon.
• Teams will be assigned the number of addresses requested on their registration form when possible. Final assignments will not be completed until at least May 1st.
• Once you accept a yard assignment, you are committed to completing the assignment.
• Leaf bags will be provided. Rakes are only provided if requested due to a limited quantity.
• Volunteers are asked to haul the bags to the leaf drop-off site when possible. If your team can’t haul the bags to the drop-off sites, a driver will be assigned to pick up the bags.
Schedule a Rain/Snow Date:
Once a team accepts a yard assignment, they are committing to raking that yard. In case of inclement weather, team leaders should schedule a rain/snow date and rake their yard assignments as soon as possible. Note: Many teams rake rain or shine, snow or sleet and dress for the weather. To register or for more information, email wow@activegen.org or abork@activegen.org or call 605-333-3317.
