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, Northwoods Interfaith
Volunteer Caregivers, Bemidji Area Council of Nonprofits/Community
Resource Connections, Kinship North, Disability Linkage Line, and the
United Way of Bemidji Area have
come together to plan the annual “Senior Community Clean Up Day ”.
In 2009, over 80 seniors were helped with these chores and over 350
volunteers came to call with rakes in hand.
The 2010 “Senior Community Clean Up Day” will be held on a Saturday in
October (date TBA). 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!
