Free Fall Raking 2025

Our high school volunteer group organizes a free leaf-raking program to assist Holliston's seniors and those in need. We visit houses all around town over several weekends to assist with seasonal yardwork; no cost, no catch, just neighbors helping neighbors. The project is a fantastic way to demonstrate how small acts of service can foster relationships between generations, and it gives our volunteers a way to interact with the community and help with a tangible chore. Many participants have said how much they appreciated the assistance from the students as well as the intimate conversations with them. For our team, it was a reminder that sometimes a simple willingness to help will make someone's day better.
