Honour a Local VeteranA Free Fall Yard Cleanup

This November, Chatham Lawn Care is giving back to a deserving Chatham-Kent veteran with a complete free fall lawn & leaf cleanup. It's our small way of saying thank you for their service.

Nominations open until November 7, 2026

How it works

One nomination can change a veteran's season

It takes just a few minutes to nominate someone who has given so much.

Step 1

Nominate a veteran

Tell us about a veteran in Chatham-Kent who could use a hand, and why they deserve it.

Step 2

We review every story

Our team reads each nomination with care and selects one deserving veteran for this year.

Step 3

A free fall cleanup

This November, we show up and complete a full leaf & fall yard cleanup — completely free.

Step 4

We share the story

With their permission, we celebrate the veteran and thank them for their service.

Our veterans gave their time, and some gave far more, so that we could rake leaves in peace. Raking a few of theirs is the very least we can do. Every autumn we choose one Chatham-Kent veteran for a full, no-cost yard cleanup — and it starts with a neighbour like you telling us their story.

Common questions

Who qualifies?

Any veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces (or allied forces) living in Chatham-Kent, Ontario. They don't need to be an existing customer — anyone in the community can nominate them.

When is the deadline?

Nominations are open until November 7, 2026. We select and complete the free cleanup during November, before the snow flies.

What's included in the cleanup?

A complete fall yard cleanup: leaf removal, clearing garden beds, cutting back perennials, tidying the lawn, and hauling away the debris. It's a full crew, at no cost to the veteran.

Can I nominate myself?

Absolutely. If you're a veteran in Chatham-Kent, you are welcome to nominate yourself — just fill in your own details as both the nominee and the nominator.
