A beautiful property is a source of pride to homeowners and the neighborhood. Everyone dreams of keeping their home and yard looking front-page worthy, but life can get in the way. Obstacles, such as physical ability, age, and finances, may prohibit residents from maintaining the yard of the year. The Liberty Hill Grass & Roots Volunteer Coalition saw this common issue as an opportunity to serve their neighbors.
Created by the Liberty Hill Code Enforcement Department, the goal of the Grass & Roots Volunteer Coalition is to “assist Liberty Hill homeowners who are physically and financially unable to maintain their property to proper code compliance through a volunteer matching program.”
To be eligible for assistance, a homeowner must meet one of three requirements:
Although it has grass and roots in the name, the volunteer coalition is about more than lawn care. They assist with accessibility, repainting, and minor exterior repairs. For these volunteers, it is about more than keeping up a beautiful front for the neighborhood — it is also about serving their neighbors in a time of need when they feel they have nowhere else to turn.
Over time, a lack of proper lawn maintenance and deteriorating properties can invite crime and cause property values to decrease. However, residents sometimes find themselves victims of their circumstances and don’t have the means to fix the issue.
Those tough circumstances lead to the chance for the people of Liberty Hill to be a bright light in their community. The welcoming spirit of residents in Liberty Hill becomes undeniable as they offer their time to help make the neighborhood safer and more beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
Grass & Roots matches homeowners who qualify with volunteers. You can apply to volunteer as an individual or as a group. Not only will you be able to help save homeowners in the area the cost of a citation, but you’ll be a positive force for change in the neighborhood! You may even inspire your neighbors to serve alongside you.
If you need assistance with maintenance for your lawn or property, you can fill out a request form online. You’ll be matched with an individual or group accordingly. You can also let the coalition know the details, as well as convenient times to complete the work. It’ll be a match made in heaven!
