Help Your Neighbors on Make a Difference Day

Make a Difference Day is Saturday, October 26. Locally, United Way Volunteer Connection coordinates hundreds of volunteers to rake leaves for elderly or disabled Marathon County residents. This is a huge chore, and some of our neighbors don't have family to help get their yards ready for winter. 

If you can help rake leaves, you can register for raking on the Volunteer Connection site. If you have a corporate or school group and would like to rake during the week prior to or the week after Make a Difference Day, that's also an option. There's also a need for individuals with a truck or trailer to haul bagged leaves to the yard waste site. Please consider volunteering today!
