1894 Community Events Residents are encouraged to sign up as a Lawn Buddy and help those in need Devon FCSS is pleased to introduce the new face of their summer lawn & yard volunteer program, Lawn Buddy, to encourage residents to volunteer their time. Volunteers will assist seniors, those with disabilities, and anyone else who needs extra help with lawn mowing and yard work throughout the summer. There is no minimum time commitment to volunteer as a lawn buddy and anyone can participate either by officially registering as a lawn buddy or by just being neighbourly and looking out for people who may need an extra hand with their yard. Register to be a lawn buddy To register as a lawn buddy, residents must complete a criminal record check. Devon FCSS staff are available to help volunteers with their criminal record check at no charge. Once the check is complete, volunteers will be added to a mailing list and be notified when there are requests for help. Volunteers will be able to contact those in need directly to discuss details of each project. Those interested in being a lawn buddy or registering to become a client can call 780-987-8308 or email CSOC@devon.ca. Share Print
