Senior Trail Crew Volunteers Wanted (Ages 18+)
Closter Nature Center is looking for a few experienced, responsible volunteers (ages 18+) to join our Senior Trail Crew, a small, hands-on team that maintains trails, clears streams, responds to storm damage such as fallen trees, and works on our reforestation efforts.

Weekday availability is required. While there’s no fixed schedule, the crew meets for projects, usually once a week, during weekday hours and weather permitting. This is a great fit for retirees or anyone with a flexible weekday schedule.

Volunteers must be physically fit and able to commit to 2–3 hours of outdoor labor per session. Skills in trail work, landscaping, construction, or operating tools and small equipment are highly valued.

If you enjoy working outdoors, take pride in doing meaningful work, and have the experience to back it up—we’d love to hear from you!

Interested in Joining? Fill out an application at: NOW RECRUITING: Senior Trail Crew

Every year in New Jersey, 341,000 tons of prepared food goes to waste, while 994,800 New Jersey residents don’t have enough food to eat. Share My Meals is closing the gap between food waste and hunger by mobilizing volunteers to recover nutritious surplus meals from commercial kitchens and deliver them to local nonprofits that support individuals in need.

About the opportunity: Volunteers pick up prepared meal donations from Rowan University's campus dining halls on Fridays at 3pm and deliver them to a nonprofit organization in Gloucester Township (~20 minute drive).

We are looking to build a community of volunteers who would be willing to support this route on a regular basis starting as soon as possible.  

In order to adhere to food safety guidelines, Share My Meals provides all necessary equipment (i.e. insulated bags) to transport food donations safely and requires volunteers to track pick-up and delivery route start and end times using our smart phone app.

Use your gift of language to provide compassionate support for local hospice patients and families. Samaritan needs bilingual Spanish/English volunteers to visit our Spanish-speaking patients.

Visits generally occur once a week in the patient’s home or care facility.

Adult Food Protectors/Dining Scarves provide clothing protection during meals. We have sizing and instructions.

Household income across a town says very little about the person living in any one house on it. Two Wyckoff households have asked us for help in the past year, and neither had anything to do with affording a landscaper.

One is a resident recovering from a fractured leg whose yard had become overgrown while they were off their feet. The other reached us through a third party who noticed an older resident was no longer able to keep the property maintained and asked whether anyone could step in.

Somewhere in your community, an older adult may be looking out at a lawn they can no longer safely maintain. A military veteran may be managing a disability. A neighbor may be quietly choosing between groceries and paying someone to mow.

You can be the person who shows up.

I Want To Mow Your Lawn® is a nationwide 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing completely free lawn mowing, yard maintenance, and seasonal outdoor help to older adults, military veterans, people with disabilities, and individuals or families facing financial hardship. Our mission is to preserve dignity, improve safety, support independent living, and bring neighbors together through meaningful, hands-on service — with environmentally conscious practices in mind.

Since 2020, our growing network of more than 2,000 approved volunteers has reached communities across all 50 states. Here in Bergen County — where we began — more than 200 households have asked us for help, while only 28 of our approved volunteers live in the county. That gap is exactly why this opportunity exists.

Volunteers provide practical, outdoor assistance such as:

Each request comes through our intake system and is shared with volunteers in or near the homeowner’s community. You choose which opportunities work for your location, availability, equipment, and comfort level.

You will often see the difference you made before you even pack up: real-world, hands-on, tangible community impact.

There are no minimum monthly hours, meetings, fundraising requirements, or fixed schedules. Volunteer once, once a season, once a month, or whenever an opportunity fits your schedule. Our guiding philosophy is simple: we do what we can, when we can.

Requests may be submitted by homeowners, family members, caregivers, case managers, social workers, and community organizations. Our platform helps connect each request with available volunteers nearby.

Bringing your own lawn equipment is helpful, but many of the households we serve already own a mower, trimmer, or blower and simply cannot safely operate it anymore. For those visits, all you need is transportation and a willingness to serve. You can still register and explore available opportunities if you do not currently own equipment.

Whether you help with one lawn or become a regular volunteer, your time can help someone remain safer, more comfortable, and more connected to their community.

If you are looking for one of the most direct ways to help your neighborhood — and truly help thy neighbor — this is it.

To protect the household’s privacy, the exact address is shared only after you choose to help.

Older adults, military veterans, people with disabilities, and individuals or families experiencing financial hardship may request free lawn or yard assistance. Family members, caregivers, case managers, social workers, and community organizations may also submit a request on someone’s behalf.

Service is always based on local volunteer availability. We cannot guarantee when or whether a volunteer will be available, but every request helps us identify where additional community support is needed.

Two Westwood households have contacted us this spring. One is a resident who recently lost her husband and whose lawn mower has since broken down — she reached out twice, once through our website and once by phone, which is usually a sign that someone has run out of other options.

The other came from a resident whose knees no longer allow them to keep up with mowing and trimming. Neither is a complicated job. Both are ordinary Westwood yards belonging to people who have hit a stretch where ordinary yard work is no longer possible.

Two New Milford households have reached out over the past year. One request came through a local social-services organization on behalf of an older client who needed help clearing snow — a reminder that caseworkers and community groups can file a request on someone’s behalf.

The other came from a resident who contacted us repeatedly over several weeks about a yard cleanup. That is what an unfilled request looks like from the other side: somebody waiting, checking back, hoping a neighbor turns up.

Bergenfield has produced one of the steadier streams of requests in Bergen County over the years. Ten separate households here have reached out to us, two of them within the past twelve months.

The most recent came from a resident managing arthritis in the knees and lower back, for whom clearing leaves had become too much. An earlier call came from a household asking about help clearing snow through the winter.

Somewhere in your community, an older adult may be looking out at a lawn they can no longer safely maintain. A military veteran may be managing a disability. A neighbor may be quietly choosing between groceries and paying someone to mow.

You can be the person who shows up.

I Want To Mow Your Lawn® is a nationwide 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing completely free lawn mowing, yard maintenance, and seasonal outdoor help to older adults, military veterans, people with disabilities, and individuals or families facing financial hardship. Our mission is to preserve dignity, improve safety, support independent living, and bring neighbors together through meaningful, hands-on service — with environmentally conscious practices in mind.

Since 2020, our growing network of more than 2,000 approved volunteers has reached communities across all 50 states. Here in Bergen County — where we began — more than 200 households have asked us for help, while only 28 of our approved volunteers live in the county. That gap is exactly why this opportunity exists.

Volunteers provide practical, outdoor assistance such as:

Each request comes through our intake system and is shared with volunteers in or near the homeowner’s community. You choose which opportunities work for your location, availability, equipment, and comfort level.

You will often see the difference you made before you even pack up: real-world, hands-on, tangible community impact.

There are no minimum monthly hours, meetings, fundraising requirements, or fixed schedules. Volunteer once, once a season, once a month, or whenever an opportunity fits your schedule. Our guiding philosophy is simple: we do what we can, when we can.

Requests may be submitted by homeowners, family members, caregivers, case managers, social workers, and community organizations. Our platform helps connect each request with available volunteers nearby.

Bringing your own lawn equipment is helpful, but many of the households we serve already own a mower, trimmer, or blower and simply cannot safely operate it anymore. For those visits, all you need is transportation and a willingness to serve. You can still register and explore available opportunities if you do not currently own equipment.

Whether you help with one lawn or become a regular volunteer, your time can help someone remain safer, more comfortable, and more connected to their community.

If you are looking for one of the most direct ways to help your neighborhood — and truly help thy neighbor — this is it.

Older adults, military veterans, people with disabilities, and individuals or families experiencing financial hardship may request free lawn or yard assistance. Family members, caregivers, case managers, social workers, and community organizations may also submit a request on someone’s behalf.

Service is always based on local volunteer availability. We cannot guarantee when or whether a volunteer will be available, but every request helps us identify where additional community support is needed.

Rochelle Park is small — roughly one square mile — which means a volunteer here is rarely more than a few minutes from the household that needs help.

Two Rochelle Park households contacted us this spring. One had been helped by a volunteer the previous season and reached out again when the lawn got ahead of them. Returning requests like that are common: the need does not disappear, it comes back every spring.

Three Lodi households have reached out to us over the past year. One call came from an elderly neighbor asking on behalf of a disabled military veteran, after the household lost the family member who had been managing everything.

Another came from a resident in her seventies who needed help clearing snow, and a third from a household asking to have the lawn mowed and edged. Names, addresses and phone numbers are never published.

Three separate Dumont households have contacted us in the past year. One reached out twice — first because there was no usable equipment at the property, and again while recovering through cardiac rehabilitation. Another simply asked for someone to mow when the lawn starts getting away from them.

None of these are complicated jobs. They are ordinary yards belonging to people who have hit a stretch where ordinary yard work is no longer possible.

Fair Lawn produces one of the steadiest streams of yard-help requests in Bergen County, and the circumstances behind them are consistent: age, illness, disability, and households where the person who used to handle the yard simply cannot anymore.

Recent Fair Lawn requests have come from a resident who is bed-bound, an adult child and elderly parent who are both living with disabilities, and a caller in their nineties looking after an adult child recovering from surgery. Identifying details are never published.

You do not have to adopt a lawn for the season. You do not have to commit to anything at all. If you live in or near Elmwood Park and can give up part of one afternoon, that is enough to matter to somebody here.

Several of the Elmwood Park households that have contacted us already own a mower, a trimmer, or a blower. What they no longer have is the ability to safely use it. In those cases the entire ask is transportation and a willing pair of hands.

One Elmwood Park resident in their seventies, living with a disability, has gone more than a month without a mow. A volunteer had been cutting the lawn and became unavailable, and there was no one else nearby to step in. That is not a scheduling problem — it is a volunteer-supply problem, and it is the reason this page exists.

Other recent Elmwood Park requests include a household with no working lawn equipment, a resident who lost their spouse and has no family living nearby, and a family member calling on behalf of an older relative who lives alone and needed help with both the lawn and winter snow.

Every circumstance described above comes from what residents told us themselves, with identifying information removed.

Elmwood Park is a little over four square miles. In the past twelve months, five separate households here have contacted us because they could no longer keep up with their own yards — some by filling out a form, some by leaving a voicemail, and at least one household by doing both.

These are not landscaping customers. They are neighbors who reached a point where mowing, raking, or trimming stopped being something they could safely do themselves. Every one of them is within a few minutes’ drive of somebody reading this page.

Older adults, military veterans, people with disabilities, and individuals or families experiencing financial hardship may request free lawn or yard assistance. Family members, caregivers, case managers, social workers, and community organizations may also submit a request on someone’s behalf.

Service is always based on local volunteer availability. We cannot guarantee when or whether a volunteer will be available, but every request helps us identify where additional community support is needed.

Somewhere in your community, an older adult may be looking out at a lawn they can no longer safely maintain. A military veteran may be managing a disability. A neighbor may be quietly choosing between groceries and paying someone to mow.

You can be the person who shows up.

I Want To Mow Your Lawn® is a nationwide 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing completely free lawn mowing, yard maintenance, and seasonal outdoor help to older adults, military veterans, people with disabilities, and individuals or families facing financial hardship. Our mission is to preserve dignity, improve safety, support independent living, and bring neighbors together through meaningful, hands-on service — with environmentally conscious practices in mind.

Since 2020, our growing network of more than 2,000 approved volunteers has reached communities across all 50 states. Here in Bergen County — where we began — more than 200 households have asked us for help, while only 28 of our approved volunteers live in the county. That gap is exactly why this opportunity exists.

Volunteers provide practical, outdoor assistance such as:

Each request comes through our intake system and is shared with volunteers in or near the homeowner’s community. You choose which opportunities work for your location, availability, equipment, and comfort level.

You will often see the difference you made before you even pack up: real-world, hands-on, tangible community impact.

There are no minimum monthly hours, meetings, fundraising requirements, or fixed schedules. Volunteer once, once a season, once a month, or whenever an opportunity fits your schedule. Our guiding philosophy is simple: we do what we can, when we can.

Requests may be submitted by homeowners, family members, caregivers, case managers, social workers, and community organizations. Our platform helps connect each request with available volunteers nearby.

Bringing your own lawn equipment is helpful, but many of the households we serve already own a mower, trimmer, or blower and simply cannot safely operate it anymore. For those visits, all you need is transportation and a willingness to serve. You can still register and explore available opportunities if you do not currently own equipment.

Whether you help with one lawn or become a regular volunteer, your time can help someone remain safer, more comfortable, and more connected to their community.

If you are looking for one of the most direct ways to help your neighborhood — and truly help thy neighbor — this is it.

Older adults, military veterans, people with disabilities, and individuals or families experiencing financial hardship may request free lawn or yard assistance. Family members, caregivers, case managers, social workers, and community organizations may also submit a request on someone’s behalf.

Service is always based on local volunteer availability. We cannot guarantee when or whether a volunteer will be available, but every request helps us identify where additional community support is needed.

Somewhere in your community, an older adult may be looking out at a lawn they can no longer safely maintain. A military veteran may be managing a disability. A neighbor may be quietly choosing between groceries and paying someone to mow.

You can be the person who shows up.

I Want To Mow Your Lawn® is a nationwide 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing completely free lawn mowing, yard maintenance, and seasonal outdoor help to older adults, military veterans, people with disabilities, and individuals or families facing financial hardship. Our mission is to preserve dignity, improve safety, support independent living, and bring neighbors together through meaningful, hands-on service — with environmentally conscious practices in mind.

Since 2020, our growing network of more than 2,000 approved volunteers has reached communities across all 50 states. Here in Bergen County — where we began — more than 200 households have asked us for help, while only 28 of our approved volunteers live in the county. That gap is exactly why this opportunity exists.

Volunteers provide practical, outdoor assistance such as:

Each request comes through our intake system and is shared with volunteers in or near the homeowner’s community. You choose which opportunities work for your location, availability, equipment, and comfort level.

You will often see the difference you made before you even pack up: real-world, hands-on, tangible community impact.

There are no minimum monthly hours, meetings, fundraising requirements, or fixed schedules. Volunteer once, once a season, once a month, or whenever an opportunity fits your schedule. Our guiding philosophy is simple: we do what we can, when we can.

Requests may be submitted by homeowners, family members, caregivers, case managers, social workers, and community organizations. Our platform helps connect each request with available volunteers nearby.

Bringing your own lawn equipment is helpful, but many of the households we serve already own a mower, trimmer, or blower and simply cannot safely operate it anymore. For those visits, all you need is transportation and a willingness to serve. You can still register and explore available opportunities if you do not currently own equipment.

Whether you help with one lawn or become a regular volunteer, your time can help someone remain safer, more comfortable, and more connected to their community.

If you are looking for one of the most direct ways to help your neighborhood — and truly help thy neighbor — this is it.
