Common questions
Before you ask
Cost
Is it really free?
Yes, for qualifying residents, community groups, congregations, schools, and independently owned small businesses in the neighborhoods we serve. Larger institutions and commercial property managers can sponsor work instead.
Timing
When can you come out?
We are in our grant application phase, so we are building the request list now and scheduling as funding, equipment, and insurance are secured. You will hear from us either way.
Volunteers
Do I need experience to volunteer?
No. We train on equipment, safety, and surface care, and we assign volunteer-safe tasks alongside trained crew.
Employment
Are you hiring?
Crew positions open as funding is secured, with priority for returning citizens, veterans, women entering the trades, and residents of the blocks we serve. Send us a note and we will keep you on file.
Documents
Can you send verification for our records?
Yes. Formation documents, tax-exempt documentation, insurance certificates, and bonding information are available on request as they are issued.
