Needs From: Volunteer NJ!

As a Guest Check-In Ambassador, you will be one of the first friendly faces guests see when they arrive at our 8th Anniversary Red Carpet Gala: Roar for a Reason. This role is essential in creating a warm, organized, and welcoming first impression for all attendees. Volunteers will assist with guest registration, verify names, distribute event materials, answer general questions, and direct guests to the appropriate areas of the venue. Your professionalism and hospitality will help ensure every guest feels welcomed from the moment they arrive.

Responsibilities

Dress Code

Volunteers are asked to wear business formal or formal attire to complement the elegance of our red carpet gala. Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes, as this role requires standing and walking for extended periods. A volunteer name badge will be provided upon arrival.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Click “I Want to Help” and we will connect you with this request and others near you in Bergen County. You can also register directly at iwanttomowyourlawn.com/volunteer-join.

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.

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.

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.

Click “I Want to Help” and we will connect you with this request and others near you in Bergen County. You can also register directly at iwanttomowyourlawn.com/volunteer-join.

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.

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.

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.

**About the Event**

The **Little Hearts Matter** fundraiser, hosted by Prayers for Addi, is an annual community event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for children living with congenital heart disease (CHD) and other critical medical conditions. Proceeds from this event help provide financial assistance, hospital care packages, clothing, household essentials, and other essential resources to families facing the emotional and financial challenges of caring for a critically ill child. Every painted smile helps create lasting memories for families while supporting a mission that brings hope, compassion, and practical assistance to those who need it most.

More than 200 households across Bergen County have asked us for help with their yards. Only 28 of our approved volunteers live here. That gap is why this opportunity exists.

I Want To Mow Your Lawn™ is a New Jersey-born nonprofit that provides 100% free lawn and yard care to older adults, military veterans, people living with disabilities, and families going through a difficult stretch.

Founded in 2020 at the onset of the pandemic, we have grown into a nationwide movement of more than 2,000 approved volunteers. But Bergen County is where we started—and it is still where we are needed most.

Helping one neighbor, one time. You might mow a lawn, clear leaves, trim a hedge that has grown over a walkway, or remove yard debris.

Most visits take between one and three hours. You will see the request, know the town and the type of work involved, and decide whether it is right for you.

You are never locked in. Help once this summer, once a month, or whenever a nearby request fits your schedule.

We ask for nothing beyond the visit you choose to accept. Even if you can help with only one yard all year, that is one neighbor receiving help they otherwise may not have had.

Many of the neighbors we serve already own a mower, trimmer, or leaf blower—they simply cannot safely operate it anymore. For those visits, all you need is transportation and a willingness to serve.

Volunteers who become regular helpers may also be eligible for equipment support through one of our equipment partners.

We provide volunteer accident insurance coverage and carry general liability coverage for our volunteers. You are not out there entirely on your own.

Real neighbors throughout Bergen County, including:

They are not looking for a landscaper. They are looking for a neighbor.

Bring a friend, bring your teenager, or bring your whole crew. Families, businesses, community groups, and volunteer teams are all welcome.

Questions? Reach out at any time. We would love to have you join us.

Description:

We are currently seeking a seasoned business professional to assist in the development and facilitation of a career readiness workshop in support of the Jersey Cares Youth Workforce Development Program. As part of this program, participating interns are required to dedicate 120 hours to a nonprofit organization and engage in a minimum of two career readiness workshops.

Recognizing the diverse schedules and geographical locations of our interns across the state, we have identified the need for an innovative approach to workshop delivery. In lieu of traditional in-person sessions, we aim to leverage technology to provide accessible learning opportunities. Specifically, we are requesting workshop developers and facilitators to create slideshows on a topic listed below and record their presentations for our archives. This format enables interns to access and engage with the workshop content at their convenience, aligning with their individual schedules.

This initiative presents a great opportunity for volunteers to contribute their expertise towards preparing our youth for successful entry into the workforce.

Workshop Topics:

Looking for a way to volunteer from the comfort of your home? 

Join Crocheting For A Cause, where volunteers create crochet projects to support nonprofits across South Jersey. We have ongoing projects available for all levels (beginner to advanced), providing registered volunteers with patterns via email. The Volunteer Center then coordinates collection and delivery to organizations in need.

Ongoing projects include Hats and Scarves, Baby Booties, Blankets, Prayer Shawls, and more. 

When families roll up their sleeves and participate in meaningful service projects, they quickly learn that they can make a difference in creating a better community– and a better world. We’ve put this tool kit together for instances in which your family can’t make it to Family Volunteer Day (Fall event), want to participate from home for Family Day of Service (Spring event), or when you simply want to get the family together to do some good. These volunteer opportunities are strictly DIY and can be completed from the comfort of your own home. 

All instructions for the projects, and getting your donations to us for distribution are included in the toolkit. 

When you respond to this need, a VCSJ team member will send you the complete toolkit to get started.

CASA Volunteers are appointed by family court judges to advocate for the best interest of an abused or neglected child during their time in the child welfare system. They are in essence, the voice of the child, in court. CASA Volunteers interview parents, doctors, educators, foster parents, therapists, and anyone else involved in the life of the child they are assigned. Their goal is to provide child-focused reports to the court, which will lead to a speedy, safe, and permanent placement for the child. This is why it is imperative for these volunteers to go through extensive training.

Buddies of NJ has a group home on the campus of Bergen NEW BRIDGE Medical Center

The Harrison House currently is the Home of a Garden of Hope created by Joe G, and now curated by master gardener Alma.

We need help with the following:

* weed pulling

* watering 

* moving/spreading top soil and mulch

* planting new flowers and following up on your general well-being

Joe had a wish that he could find a few people in the area who would be willing to help and the garden's vitality once he moved on.  There is a lot of flexibility in the schedule.  This is an outdoor activity and offers a safe and healthy opportunity.

Ideally it should be someone who loves gardening and/or helping things grow and stay healthy.  Perhaps someone who is retired and/or has off in the early parts of the morning.

If interested, please reply and/or email ray@njbuddies.org.

We need volunteers to come on Fridays (weather permitting) from 10am to 12pm each week to care for the garden.   Cleaning, pruning, weeding, mulching, watering, planting... will be done as needed so be prepared for a little bit of dirt. (all natural - we strive to keep out pesticides or any garden enhancement that is not organic). 

You may email our master gardener for details at: almalyee@gmail.com

If you live nearby and are interested in daily care, like watering... we could use someone with that ambition.

2026 Foodstock

Even before any disaster or crisis hits, food security can be a significant issue for ALICE®  (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families and those in poverty. ALICE was already navigating life without a safety net and was one crisis away from financial despair. The government shutdown and suspension of SNAP (food assistance) benefits is that crisis, creating a significant increase in food insecurity while pantries are already at capacity and experiencing shortages.

In response to this impact of the SNAP emergency, United Way is taking action and encouraging people and groups to collect needed items for local food banks/pantries. While Foodstock is a year-round project, we are strongly promoting its expansion during this critical timeframe, given the critical need right now.  This will help ensure ALICE and poverty-level households have enough food while the SNAP program is on hold.
