Snow Shoveling and Lawncare Program

Village of Morton Grove
Snow Shoveling & Lawncare Program

Are you an older adult or person with a disability looking for assistance with snow removal or lawncare? Are you a high school student hoping to find a way to connect with your neighbors to offer your assistance shoveling or mowing lawns and earn some cash?

Those seeking help and teenagers who would like to participate are encouraged to sign up for the Village's Snow Shoveling and Lawncare Program. This program connects residents who are unable to shovel or mow their lawn with teenage participants who are willing to provide snow shoveling or lawncare services at affordable rates. Teenage participants are needed!

Morton Grove residents often request assistance during harsh winters for snow shoveling. When participants submit their contact information to the program list, Morton Grove residents can be provided with a complete list of available participants in their area upon request. The resident is responsible for contacting participants from the list provided and scheduling services directly with the participant. The participant is responsible for communicating with residents, completing the task, or notifying the resident if they are unable to complete the task.

After registering, an employee from the Village of Morton Grove will reach out to confirm receipt. If you have questions, call 847-663-3070.

To Register for Assistance:

Seniors or individuals with disabilities can register for the program by filling out the online request form or printing and mailing a completed paper request (PDF). 

*Landlords may not use this program as a way to circumvent Village requirements regarding snow removal on rental properties. Individuals found to be misusing the Village’s Snow Shoveling and Lawncare Program by providing inaccurate information regarding their eligibility for assistance will be banned from future use.
