An additional component to the Changing Our Culture of Property Maintenance Initiative focuses on neighbors helping neighbors through volunteerism.
Volunteers will assist individuals who are unable to pay for mowing services, or those who live outside of Neighborhood Improvement Association (NIA) areas in the City of Topeka limits, who need their lawn mowed.
Individuals, families, businesses, churches, organizations, and any neighbor wanting to get engaged with helping residents with mowing can sign up to volunteer through this portal.
*This portal is intended to be used by the volunteer, not the individual requesting a volunteer mow their lawn.*
Request a volunteer
Individuals who are unable to pay for mowing services, or those who live outside of NIA areas in the City of Topeka limits, are able to request their lawn be mowed.
The City, however, cannot guarantee a volunteer match, and is not responsible for vetting volunteers.
To request a volunteer, call the Changing Our Culture of Property Maintenance assistance line at 785-368-9530.
