Rescue Rangers Program
The Rescue Rangers program is a resource for senior and disabled residents who lack the physical or financial ability to complete daily tasks such as shoveling snow, walking pets, or bringing out and returning garbage toters. Rescue Rangers are local middle and high school students who have signed up to earn approximately $12 per hour (the exact amount is negotiated between the resident and student).
If you are a local student and are interested in becoming a Rescue Ranger or if you are interested in hiring a Rescue Ranger, call 847-745-4717. You may also register online at lincolnwoodil.org/rescuerangers.
