NIU students are “raking in” some good deeds by reaching out to the community to assist with yard raking before another harsh northern Illinois winter. Events such as Rake Across DeKalb strive to connect NIU students with the residents of our surrounding communities.
Student volunteers will be placed in teams on Saturday, November 6th from 1am-1pm and have to rake as many yards as they can. If you are interested in adding your lan to the list of projects, access the project site request form (click on Rake Across DeKalb) and return (via mail, fax, or email) by October 29th. Volunteer assistance is free; homeowners are asked to provide one rake per volunteer requested.
For additional questions please contact Becky Harlow at 815.753.6703. Rake Across DeKalb is sponsored by the NIU Student Involvement & Leadership Development.
