Lakewood Comes Together: A Community Day of Service

Lakewood Comes Together: A Community Day of Service
Saturday, November 7th, 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM

This November, we’re inviting every neighborhood, family, business, and willing pair of hands to take part in something bigger than any one of us: a citywide Day of Service.

For one day, we’re setting aside our own to-do lists to take care of our shared spaces and each other, clearing litter, raking public spaces, and helping neighbors who’ve asked for a hand, so Lakewood heads into the colder months feeling a little more cared for.

What We’ll Be Doing
-Street and public space clean-up: clearing litter and debris from sidewalks, parks, tree lawns, and other shared spaces
-Matched yard help for neighbors who’ve requested it
-Sprucing up your own yard, if you’ve been putting it off

No task is too small.

How to Get Involved

Pitch In, No Registration Required
See a public space that could use some love? You don’t need to register to help. Grab a trash bag or rake and get started in shared public spaces around the city.

Keep in mind:
– Stick to public property: sidewalks, parks, tree lawns, medians, and other common areas
– Homes and private yards are off-limits here; private yard help happens through our matching program below
– Wear gloves, watch for traffic, and skip anything needing heavy equipment

Been putting off your own yard? Now’s the day.
Snap a photo and tag us (or send it our way) so we can celebrate every corner of the city that got a little more beautiful.

Register to Be Matched
Want a specific place to go, or want to help a neighbor directly? Fill out our volunteer form and we’ll match you with a neighbor who’s requested help or a public space project.

Request Help for Yourself or Someone You Care For
If you could use a hand with yard work this fall, or you’re coordinating for a family member or neighbor with their knowledge, reach out to Megan Futo at mfuto@lakewoodalive.org. LakewoodAlive will review requests and do our best to match you with volunteers. Submitting a request isn’t a guarantee of a match, but we’ll try our best.

Sponsor or Partner
Businesses and organizations can supply materials, snacks, or volunteer teams.

Date: Saturday, November 7th
Time: 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM

This is a community organized day of service. The “Pitch In” option is a self-directed, volunteer activity and not a supervised LakewoodAlive event; participants take part at their own discretion and own risk.

Let’s Make It the Biggest Day of Service Lakewood Has Ever Seen.
Grab your rake, round up your neighbors, and mark your calendar.
