“Don’t really get all the #BLM stuff?
400 years ago white people enslaved black people.
And sold them.
And treated them as less than human.
For 250 years.
While white men built the country and created its laws and its systems of government.
1 in 6 women has experienced sexual violence other than rape by an intimate partner. Reproductive abuse is a form of sexual violence.

It’s time to end the cycle of violence—because even one is too many.

The Columbus Blue Jackets honored Johnny Gaudreau prior to their first home game of the season ❤️
Gaudreau and his brother Matthew died on Aug. 29 when they were struck by an alleged drunk driver in New Jersey.
Sending peace to everyone healing from things that are too hard to talk about. Too much risk of bad advice. Too much fear of not being believed. Even if for a moment, I hope you can trust there are others who understand. Hope you find peace for each step. You’re worth the healing

Our 50 yard challenge is year round .In addition to mowing lawns, we also offer opportunities for raking leaves and shoveling snow. It’s a year-round chance for your child to give back to the community. If you have a child aged 8-17, encourage them to sign up!
This unique opportunity allows kids to step up and make a real difference in their communities. By signing up, your child will embark on a journey starting with a white shirt, tasked with mowing, raking leaves & snow shoveling for the elderly, disabled, single parents, and veterans—all free of charge.
As they progress through their 50-yard mission, they’ll earn new colored shirts for every set of 10 lawns cared for—orange, green, blue, red, and ultimately, black. Completing all 50 lawns earns them not just the black shirt but also brand-new lawn care equipment (mower, weed eater & blower) ! It’s a rewarding challenge that builds character, skills, and community spirit. So, talk with your child about becoming a part of our program .
