Forward Fridays - Rodney Smith, Jr.

This Friday segment is dedicated to everyday people doing everyday things in our community. By recognizing these extraordinary people, we are looking to highlight their gifts, talents, contributions, and services available as well as encourage you to support, uplift and patronize them when you can. And maybe, it will inspire some, light a fire in others, to begin, step up and/or continue your own journeys to serve your community. 


Reach One. Teach One. Each One.
“We Are Constantly Growing” – Founder Rodney A. Smith Jr
***
This Forward Friday segment is dedicated to Rodney Smith, Jr. of Huntsville, AL by way of Bermuda. I began following Rodney some time ago on Instagram. It has been a pleasure to watch his business grow, the people he has helped, the places that he has been and all of the people that he has influenced along the way. He has been able to do all that he has done while enrolled into Alabama A&M University. He also finds time to do mission work for the homeless that he comes across. He sees a need and he is trying to fill it. I am in awe. Because I don't know him personally, I can only give you my impression from his social media presence and let me tell you, I'm a fan.

Who is Rodney Smith and what does he do? How can I get involved? How can I accept the challenge? How can I start a local chapter? I've included the information from his website that will answer all of these questions and more. There's a link to the website at the end of this article, as well as a link to his IG and Facebook page.








Who Is R.M.L.C.S (Raising Men Lawn Care Service)

Raising Men Lawn Care Service is designed to promote awareness for the youth of the future. It is a platform where the younger members of the community can give back to the community. This includes veterans, the elderly, the disabled and even single mothers. They get the chance to offer services such as mowing lawns, shoveling snow, raking leaves and more, free of charge. The youths who we work with are able to experience a great sense of achievement while also developing their social skills and lawn care experience.

Our Mission

We want to unite the extraordinary community that is present in our local area. We are completely confident in the fact that we can provide a very inspirational program that focuses on channeling the energy that youths have in a positive way as well as helping those who need it the most. We know that sometimes youth want to help the community and sometimes people need it, but it can be hard to know who, why and where. We focus on getting all of this sorted out while also helping people around the area to care for and maintain their lawns.










If you know someone who is elderly, a single mom or even a veteran that is in need of some help with their lawn then you can easily fill out this form. The service we provide them is completely free. Please allow us up to 6-8 days to get to your lawn due to the increase in the amount of lawns we have received. 
Our Services
We know that your home is your investment. You’re proud of it and you want to do everything you can to maintain it to the highest possible level. This can be hard work when you have difficulty with your mobility or even don’t have the funds to pay someone to do it. No need to worry anymore, Raising Men Lawn Care Service will take care of all of that for you for FREE . We take pride in every single lawn we tend to and make sure once we are done with it you are left with a smile on your face.
The services that we offer you include:
  • Lawn Mowing (includes weed eating and blowing)
  • Snow-Shoveling
  • Leaf Raking
Requirements:
  • Be elderly, disabled, a single mom or a veteran
  • Be able to take photo after we do your lawn


Do you know someone in need of help ?

We often get asked to help out people in other states where we do not have any chapters or kids taking part in the 50 Yard Challenge. This has happened on many occasions. So we have decided to do something about it. If you know of anyone who is elderly, disabled, a single mom or veteran in need of their lawn done badly because they are on a fixed income & can’t afford to pay anyone , cant do it themselves and/or got a citation, please fill out the form so we can share their story with our family on our social media pages. Each time we have shared a story, someone in the family stepped out to help. We are firm believers in Love Thy Neighbor.

To Kids Worldwide:












(Would you like a copy. If you would like a copy go to ->https://www.raisingmenlawncareservice.com/products/50-states-50-lawns-the-book)


We challenge you to cut 50 lawns FREE for the elderly, disabled, single mothers, and the veterans in your town. If you accept this challenge, all you need to do is send us a photo of you holding a sign saying “I accept the 50 Yard Challenge”, and in return, we’ll send you your white RMLCS shirt along with shades & ear protection to get you started. For every 10 lawns cut, you will get a new color shirt.
• Once you cut 10 lawns you get an orange shirt
• 20 lawns earn a green shirt
• 30 lawns earn a blue shirt
• 40 lawns earn a red shirt
• 50 lawns earn a black shirt.

Once you reach 50 lawns, we will come visit you, cut a few lawns with you, and give you different color Raising Men Lawn Care Service shirts. We will also give you a brand new lawn mower! Let’s make a difference together by mowing one yard at a time!
