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. The hours are 8:30 am until around noon, depending on how long it takes the group to finish with the tasks.
