You could be somebody's angel: Leaf Angels program returns to Cranberry Township

Fall is in the air, which means the falling leaves are, too! It's time to pull out those rakes and volunteer to help a needy neighbor.

The Cranberry Township Leaf Angels program serves elderly and disabled residents who need assistance raking and removing leaves from their properties. This program is a great volunteer opportunity for families, friends, sports teams, clubs, and groups/individuals.

The Township requires that all leaves collected be deposited in yard waste carts or disposed of in biodegradable bags and left at the curb for collection, per Vogel Waste Disposal requirements. No loose leaves or unapproved plastic bags will be accepted. Each resident who applies for assistance will receive five biodegradable leaf bags.

The program runs from November 1 until the end of the yard waste collection.
