2026 Rake Up Green Bay

Rake Up Green Bay 2026 kicks off with a Volunteer Kickoff Event on Saturday, November 7 from 9:00-11:00 am. Volunteers can stop by to pick up rakes, enjoy coffee and pastries, and even meet some of the homeowners they’ll be helping this year!


The raking season officially begins Saturday, November 7, and will continue through the City of Green Bay’s final leaf pick-up date. Once that date is announced, we’ll be sure to share it. Typically, the season wraps up around Thanksgiving. Each year, volunteers make a meaningful difference by helping neighbors clear their yards and prepare for winter. We’d love to have you join us again this year!

  • Flexible scheduling: You and your assigned homeowner(s) will choose a date that works best between November 7 and the final leaf pick-up day.
