🍁 27th Annual Senior Community Clean-Up Day is coming up on Saturday, October 24th, 2026!
We’ve already begun receiving calls, and we don’t want anyone to miss out — especially with our new registration process this year.

If you are a senior (60+) or an individual living with disabilities within Bemidji city limits and would like FREE volunteer leaf‑raking, please call 218‑333‑8265 and leave a message to sign up.

📬 New this year: After you call, a registration form will be mailed to you. Please fill it out and return it in the provided envelope to secure your spot.

We encourage early registration, as we anticipate a waiting list again this year.
Our ability to provide this service depends entirely on our amazing volunteers, and we’re excited to make this another great Senior Community Clean-Up Day for our community!

Join us for the 21st Annual Evergreen Conference, October 6–7, 2026, at the Sanford Center in Bemidji!

This year’s theme, Where Hope Blooms, celebrates the hope that grows when youth-serving professionals come together to learn, connect, share ideas, and strengthen the work happening in our communities.

The Evergreen Conference brings together community and nonprofit leaders, mental health professionals, social workers, counselors, youth advocates, educators, and others committed to supporting youth and families.

We can’t wait to welcome you for two days of meaningful learning, fresh perspectives, and connection.
