What We Do

Volunteer-driven support focused on the most immediate needs after a storm.

Fallen Branch & Tree Cleanup

Helping clear fallen branches and downed limbs from yards and driveways after severe weather — based on volunteer availability in your area.

Debris & Yard Clearing

Light cleanup to restore safety and basic access to your outdoor space — moving debris, clearing paths, and helping your property feel manageable again.

Neighbor-to-Neighbor Support

Practical help for families who need an extra set of hands. We focus on seniors, people with disabilities, and anyone who can't manage cleanup on their own.

Community-Led
Disaster Relief

We're not a large disaster agency. We're neighbors helping neighbors. When storms create difficult situations, our volunteers step in where they can to help families begin recovering.

Our goal is simple: show up when we can and help where it matters most. Every response is made possible by Michigan residents who choose to give their time.

Who We Prioritize During Emergencies

Our program is open to everyone in need. Support depends on volunteer availability and the situation. We focus our efforts on neighbors who may face greater challenges — elderly residents, veterans, people with disabilities, and families experiencing hardship after a storm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can request disaster relief?

Anyone affected by severe weather can reach out for help. During high-demand times, we focus first on neighbors who may face extra challenges — including seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and families experiencing financial hardship.

Is there a cost for disaster relief services?

All disaster relief services are completely free. We're here to help Michigan families during emergencies, with no strings attached.

How quickly can I expect help?

Response times vary based on volunteer availability and current needs. While we do our best to help as soon as possible, we cannot guarantee immediate response.

Community Mow is a volunteer-based organization. Assistance depends on volunteer availability and local coverage. We are not an emergency service — if you need urgent help, please call 911 or contact the American Red Cross.
