Elderly/Sick Parishioners, Do You Need Help with Outdoor Yardwork or Projects?
|
St. Susanna member, if you are elderly or sick and need help with lawn work, gardening, or outdoor projects, youth and adults/families from St. Susanna will volunteer to help you with this service. Please fill out the ‘Outdoor Work Request Form.' Please be patient and know that we will work to ensure this request is answered and fulfilled as quickly as possible. Requests must be made at least two weeks ahead of time so we have adequate time to address the need and find volunteers available to help.

Please fill out the 'Volunteer Sign-up' form, and we will contact you when we have projects that need to be done!
We are asking that at least two adults be willing to volunteer with the middle or high school youth for the safety of the youth. Multiple families can help with the same project. Thank you so much for being willing to help those in need from our community! |
