- Do you do lawn work and have free time to volunteer in our community?
- Do you know a student looking for work?
The Senior's Safety Coordinator of Cumberland County, Trishe Colman, is looking to add to her list of contacts and get seniors the help they need.
For further information or to be added to the list and be matched with a senior, please call Trishe Colman, Senior's Safety Co-ordinator for Cumberland County at 902.664.4540 or email: cumberlandseniorsafety@gmail.com
Be sure to check out the Cumberland County Seniors Safety Program on Facebook.
Is your senior or disabled neighbour's property looking like a jungle?
Lawn mowing can cause undue stress to the body of a senior. The strain caused by pushing and using heavy equipment and walking long distances can put some seniors at serious risk of falls, broken bones, heart attacks and stroke.
A neighbour may need your help and your act of kindness could save a life. Volunteer to help with their lawn mowing as an individual, family, business, or school. Knock on your neighbour's door and spread care and compassion in your community.
