This is a KC Metro-wide yard clean-up at some of our consumers’ homes. As you can imagine it is difficult for some people living with a disability to keep up on their yard maintenance, so we try to get their yards taken care of. We work all around the city in groups of 8-10 people, performing low to moderate risk activities such as mowing, raking, weeding, and planting. The hours are 8:30am until around noon, depending on how long it takes the group to finish with the tasks. Planning committee forming now. Volunteer opportunities for individuals, families and groups.

The pickleball community is a fantastic group and we are hopeful this tournament will attract players from all over the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area. Volunteers are needed to assist with running our tournament, guest services, silent auction, and more.
