‘Raising Men Lawn Care’ Underway In All 50 States

A couple years ago, Rodney Smith from Huntsville, Alabama saw a guy struggling to mow his lawn. So he got out of his car to help him, and that moment inspired Rodney to make a difference.

In 2016, he started a nonprofit called “Raising Men Lawn Care” that goes to homes of single moms, veterans, and older people, and mows their lawns for free. Another big part of his nonprofit is about getting boys and girls to volunteer.

Rodney is taking his mission on the road this summer by personally mowing at least one person’s lawn in all 50 states.

He’s already about halfway through his trip this year. He started in Wisconsin, and was in Tennessee yesterday.

To get more kids involved, Smith also started something called the “50 Yard Challenge,” where kids commit to mowing 50 yards in their own community for free this summer.

At least 137 kids have already signed up, and he’s getting more and more every day.
