The RAKES program will enter its 16th year this fall providing assistance to the elderly and the disabled. The RAKES program will be utilizing volunteers to help out those who are unable to rake their yards. 

The program provides an alternative to seniors and those who are disabled and unable to rake their leaves. Residents seeking help must be over 60 and/or be disabled, own and live in the home requiring raking assistance, and be unable to afford help. 

More information and applications may be obtained by contacting Cheryl Gaccione at (973) 284-4958 or cgaccione@nutleynj.org.
