Rake Your Heart Out

Cleaning Neighborhoods One Yard at a Time
Saturday, NOVEMBER 16th, 2024

ABOUT

Every November volunteers from local businesses, community organizations, and corporations come together to clean up the yards of elderly, disabled, or veteran homeowners in Salt Lake County in our annual Rake Your Heart Out event.

Our goal is to help homeowners who cannot physically clean up their home themselves make positive impacts, not just for the house itself, but for everyone involved. By helping beautify just one home, the homeowners feel like a valued part of their community, the neighbors get inspired to spruce up their homes too, and the volunteers know they can truly make a difference for others.
