Fix-It Moves Outside!


CareConnect is pleased to announce its newest Safety Net Service - YardBusters! Since 1973 CareConnect's Fix-It program has provided minor home repairs inside the home, and now YardBusters volunteers will help seniors and adults with disabilities manage the outside of their homes as well.

In order to get this service started CareConnect needs volunteers! If you love working outside and helping others in the community, join YardBusters! Volunteer time is flexible and dependent upon your schedule. Although volunteers are especially needed who have and can transport their own lawn mower, volunteers of any ability are welcome - with or without yard maintenance tools!

A high priority of the program is to reduce the risk of falls outside the home by removing potential safety hazards such as branches and brush. Other volunteer tasks may include: removing weeds, raking leaves, spring garden preparation, removal of small tree limbs and occasional lawn mowing.

YardBusters will allow clients and volunteers alike to enjoy being outside again! Call the Fix-It Team at 303-443-1933 x 408 to sign up as a volunteer! Or fill out our online volunteer form here.
