Need Help Raking Your Yard? The Lions and Community Teens Can Help

Medfield Lions Club and Medfield High School Community Teens are offering a free service by which they will remove leaves for Medfield residents who are elderly, experiencing financial hardship, or physically unable to perform the chores.

Do you have too many leaves in your yard and cannot do the cleanup yourself, or maybe you can't afford to hire someone to remove the leaves?

That's where the MHS Community Teens and Medfield Lions come in.  

They can help you rake leaves, compost them in your backyard, or have Greg Kay’s Shady Tree Landscaping Service vacuum the leaves at your curb.

There is no cost for the clean-up service which is intended for Medfield residents who are elderly, experiencing financial hardship, or physically unable to perform the chores.
