Nominate a Neighbour
Know a yard in the Chatham area that has got away from the person living there — after an illness, a loss, a storm, or a stretch where life got hard? Put their name forward. Nominations are read as they come in, all year.
Who it's for
Anyone in the Chatham area whose property needs a hand: overgrown, storm-damaged or more than they can manage right now. Self-nominations are welcome.
What gets done
- A full yard clean-up by a crew
- No cost to the person living there
How it works
Tell their story
Who they are, what the yard looks like, and what's going on.We read every one
Nominations are read as they arrive, not once a year.The crew comes out
When one is chosen, the crew does the work at no cost.Filming, only with a yes
The work may be filmed and shared. Nothing is posted unless the person agrees first.
Before you send it
- The person you're nominating knows about it and is okay with being contacted.
- The work may be filmed. If the person doesn't want that, say so in the form and we'll keep it off camera.
- We can't get to every yard, and we'll be straight with you about it.
The work is done by Launch League volunteers — our own people, students and community volunteers. A nomination usually contains someone else's name, address and situation. We keep it inside Launch League and share it only with the crew doing the work. Nothing is published, and a story is only told if the person says yes.
