SOMERVILLE, NJ – The Somerset County Office of Volunteer Services seeks individuals and groups to volunteer for its annual Fall Leaf Clean-Up project. Volunteers will rake leaves for elderly and disabled homeowners who are unable to do their yard work. Volunteer Services encourages residents to sign up early so they can serve as many people as possible. The project will take place on Nov. 18.

Volunteering allows residents an opportunity to give back to their communities. Friends, families, church groups, sports teams, Girl Scouts and Boy Scout Troops, 4-H Clubs, high school clubs, or other groups are welcome to sign up for the annual tradition.

All volunteers must register as a team of at least four adults or the youth-strength equivalent. Any group containing youth must include at least one adult. A group can consist of people who form a temporary team for this event, even if they are not a formal club or organization.
