UPDATE!! VINE Faith in Action has announced that Rake the Town that was going to happen on Nov 9th has been canceled. This is the first time in 23 years that VINE has had to cancel the event.
Weather has forced us to make this decision and we are very disappointed. Since mid-summer, our staff has invested hundreds of hours making arrangements for this event. We have responded to hundreds of phone calls, purchased rakes and tarps, scheduled raking groups, and arranged lunch for 400 hungry volunteers. Despite all our best efforts, the one thing we cannot control is the weather.
VINE Faith in Action on the cancelation
As soon as we hear any more information on the event, or when/if it gets rescheduled we will update everyone on our social media!
ORIGINAL STORY BELOW
Helping aging adults and people with disabilities with the fall raking is again the call for student volunteers joining Vine in Action’s annual Rake the Town on Saturday, Nov. 9.
Volunteers from VINE Faith in Action provide fall raking at no charge. Donations are encouraged to help defray the costs of the day.
‘We plan to rake over 300 yards in Mankato, North Mankato, and St. Peter, as well as rural Blue Earth and Nicollet Counties.’
