Community Thread Offers Yard-Raking Assistance to Seniors
This year Community Thread is organizing Rake A Difference Day, an initiative that matches seniors and persons with disabilities in the Hudson area to volunteer groups that can assist with yard-raking. We are now accepting applications from individuals who would like volunteer assistance with having their yard raked this year and registration forms from interested volunteers.
