Senior Front Yard Assistance Program now accepting applications 

The Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force presents its second annual Senior Front Yard Assistance Program later this summer—and the application deadline for qualifying community members is Friday, May 24. 

The annual Senior Front Yard Assistance Program will take place on Saturday, Aug. 17, the weekend before National Senior Citizens Day—and is open to all residents 62 years of age and up who reside within the boundaries of incorporated Hayward. 

Through this once-a-year Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force-sponsored program, senior residents receive help with basic front yard work such as mowing, weeding and raking and neighborhoods are beautified. 

The program is not intended for tree and trash removal, and all work is performed by community volunteers. 

For more information—including links to a downloadable program and volunteer applications—go online here to the Senior Front Yard Assistance Program on the City of Hayward website or contact the Hayward Maintenance Services Department at (510) 881-7745 or KHCG@hayward-ca.gov.
