The Plymouth Community United Way hosted its spring “Rake-N-Go” event April 30. Around 120 volunteers gathered at The Salvation Army Plymouth Corps at 8 a.m. to receive their home assignments and meet their team members before heading out to complete some light cleaning and yard work for local senior and/or disabled citizens in Plymouth and Canton. There were 33 Plymouth homes that registered for the event this year.

Some volunteers signed up to work in groups—including Boy and Girl Scout troops, local business groups from Johnson Controls, Inc. and Target, a group from the Solid Rock Bible School, as well as local students from the Northville High School Rotary Interact and Plymouth-Canton Educational Park Build On—while others came with a friend or a spouse. Although there are countless volunteers who participate in this event every year, there were many new volunteers who got involved for the first time this past Saturday.

Those interested in other Plymouth Community United Way volunteer events are asked to contact Sally Harris at sallyharris@ameritech.net or call (734) 453-6879, ext. 7.
