Every fall, on a dedicated day, A Little Help hosts Service Saturday! events across Colorado, a day focused on yard work, connection, and kindness. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds come together to assist older adults with seasonal outdoor tasks such as raking leaves, washing windows, pulling weeds, and sprucing up yards for winter.
Each location holds its own Service Saturday on a single Saturday, typically one of the first two Saturdays in November. The exact date varies by community, but all events are timed to help older adults button up their yards before the cold sets in. This annual tradition is a great way to lend a hand, meet neighbors, and share the joy of service.
Who Should Join?
This event is ideal for groups looking to make a meaningful impact together, but individuals are warmly welcomed to join too!
Families looking for a meaningful way to bond
School clubs and sports teams eager to make an impact
Faith-based communities, scout troops, or book clubs looking for service opportunities
Friends or co-workers who want to do good together
Individuals who want to get involved—even if you're signing up solo, we'll match you with a friendly group.
Your Service Saturday Experience
Location & Registration
Use the link provided to find the Service Saturday! closest to you. Register your group by entering each member's name and email address. Flying solo? That's great too—we'll place you with a friendly team! We highly encourage you to pre-register and choose a home assignment in advance, as home availability can be limited.
Be sure to check your email for any updates and confirmation from us regarding your registration.
After registering, the map link will be sent to you shortly, where you can select a home to help. Pick a location and tasks that suit your group's availability and interest. Please keep an eye on your inbox for this important link.
You may choose up to two home assignments—we recommend no more than that to ensure you have time to complete the work. Groups should be no larger than 6 participants. If your group is larger, you may need to split up to ensure an efficient volunteer experience.
Check In & Gear Up
On your Service Saturday!, meet us at the designated check-in spot around 9:00 AM for coffee, donuts, and a quick hello. Tools will be available at check-in for your group to use throughout the day. Just come to check-in to pick them up.
Already set? Feel free to skip check-in and head straight to your assigned home.
Check your email for the check-in location and any last-minute updates before the day.
Lend a Hand
Spend the morning doing meaningful yard work—typically about 3 hours—to help older adults prepare their homes for winter. Tasks may include raking leaves, trimming bushes, clearing gutters, washing windows, or preparing gardens for the colder months. If your group or family needs an early start or a later finish, that's totally fine! Just let us and the member know in advance, and we'll be happy to accommodate your schedule.
Celebrate & Wrap Up
Drop off tools at the local celebration, grab a free drink, and connect with other volunteers and A Little Help staff. You've earned it! Look out for an email with details on where to meet for the celebration.
Service Saturday! is more than just yard work—it's an opportunity to strengthen community bonds and make a meaningful impact in the lives of older adults. Together, we can create lasting change and build a stronger, more connected community.
