A local nonprofit group is looking to help tenants and landowners keep their yards in better shape.

At a DeKalb Ward 7 meeting on Wednesday, Demetrius Page of Midwest Family announced plans to launch a community lawn care service that would aid DeKalb County residents in need.

It all begins Aug. 22 with complimentary services running every Saturday and Sunday through the spring, summer and fall months, according to a news release. Services may include mowing and edging for both the front and back yards of any DeKalb County resident in need.

“Our goal is to ensure that all community members receive the support they deserve,” Page said in a news release.

Anyone in need of service is advised to contact DeKalb Alderman John Walker at john.walker@cityofdekalb.com.
