Looking For Volunteer Orgs, Jackson County Need Help

I am disabled, and was wondering if there any groups in Jackson County, (Medford area) that provide help with yard cleanup (trees damaged in the Dec snow) and weeding. If I can't find some help, the management (mobile home park) will add the cost to my rent, about $1,000 more or less, and being on SSI Disability, that is out of my reach. And I will be homeless. I am not asking for money, just some elbows and strong backs.

So, if I could be pointed to any Orgs, I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

Many groups that work with teenagers have a service component, where teenagers are required to give a certain number of hours in service to others.
Your work needed may qualify for some groups.
They would need adult supervision, though, for safety's sake.
In some places Habitat for Humanity also helps out in this type of work.
Good luck!
