This is an easy one…

You’ve likely already mowed a neighbor’s lawn. Maybe it was because they were sick, broke a bone, had a baby, etc. But what about a stranger? Ideas to execute:
Pay attention to the smaller homes in your community to see which lawns are getting a bit long:
If you’re a candidate/elected using VoteSharp:
Run a list of constituents over the age of 80 (or whatever you want);
When you’re by a house, use the map! Click on the house’s pin, then click on a voter to open their file. Click “Voter Data” to check their age.
Sometimes anonymous help is unwanted, so it might be good to ring the doorbell and ask for their resident’s permission.
If you’re NOT a candidate/elected and you want to be a good neighbor (it doesn’t have to be your literal neighbor, remember everyone is our neighbor - especially those who do not walk, talk, look, act, believe like us).
Did you drive by a house with an “It’s a Boy/Girl” sign or balloons? Grab that mower!
Alternative for non-mowers: In either of these cases above, if you have a lawn service, ask them to stop by the house and bill you for the mow.
Happy serving,
