 Senior Community Clean-Up
Day
Each year
dozens of senior citizens from the Bemidji area seek help with raking their
yards, cleaning gutters and installing storm windows in preparation for
winter. In response to this need, the Northwoods Interfaith Volunteer
Caregivers, Bemidji Area Council of Nonprofits, Healthy Community Healthy
Kids/Kinship North, Adult Day Services, Trek North
Charter School, and the United Way of
Bemidji Area have come together to plan
the annual “Senior Community Clean Up Day ”. In 2007, over 90 seniors
were helped with these chores and over 350 volunteers came to call with
rakes in hand.
The 2008 “Senior Community Clean Up Day” will be held on Saturday,
October 25. Senior citizens 60 years of age and better or people living with a
disability that reside within the city limits of Bemidji may participate. Priority will be
given to those who are homebound or are physically unable to perform the work
themselves. To request services please call 333-8261. To volunteer on that day, please call 333-8266. All are welcome to come join the fun!
